Harness overview

There are two versions of the cable harness: B2 and C1. Please refer to the cable harness marking to know which version i.e B2 or C1 (see the below picture).

Example of cable marking:

  • 1047-141-06 B2

  • 1047-141-06 C1

Hardware setup

  1. Connect I and Q to the CDP switch and A to a power supply. Ensure the CDP switch is functioning properly, for example as indicated by green LED status lights.

  2. Turn on the power to the ACU6-Pro device. A new network interface should be present on the PC. To make sure the device stays on, enable ONSW (Power Management):

    $ ./rundocker.sh utils/onsw.sh on
    

    VirtualBox users are advised to add the USB device Linux x.y.z-acu6 ... RNDIS/Ethernet ... to the USB Device Filters list. To get to the add device view, right click on your virtual machine and then click Settings -> USB.

    $ ip address
    ...
    108: enx001122334455: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000
        link/ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    ...
    $
    
  3. Configure the network interface with the static IP address 198.18.1.2 and netmask 255.255.255.0.

    Temporarily this can be done with the following commands, the netmask is here converted into a prefix (255.255.255.0 -> /24):

    $ sudo ip address add 198.18.1.2/24 dev enx001122334455
    $ sudo ip link set enx001122334455 up
    

    The above will last until the ACU6 is rebooted.

    To make the change persistent, configure the address and netmask in Network Manager.

    Identify which Wired connection it is by opening the details using the Cog and checking Hardware Address for the expected MAC (00:11:22:33:44:55).

    Configure the checkboxes like this in the Details tab:

    ../_images/details.png

    Configure the ip address and netmask like this in the IPv4 tab:

    ../_images/config.png

    Save settings with Apply, switch the interface off if it’s on, then switch it on.

  4. Now the network interface enx001122334455 should have the static IP address 198.18.1.2 and netmask 255.255.255.0.

    $ ip address
    ...
