Connect to Processor 3-pin connector: Daisy chain a cable from the last DH+ node to the connector of ANC-120e. (Shield cable is not required for ANC120e). Order of cables is irrelevant, as it is auto-detected by ANC-120e.

Connect using DH+ Prog. Term. On Processor, using the ANC-120e Din Cable if you have it. Order of cables is irrelevant, as it is auto-detected by ANC-120e.

Connect the DH+ cable to ANC-120e and then connect to a free USB port on your computer.

When the unit turns on, the USB LED blinks several times.

Note: if AUTO Baudrate and AUTO DH+ Node options are active in ANC-120e. It will automatically configure the correct DH+ network speed and find a free DH+ node to use as its own address.

The DH+ side LED should start blinking every 3 seconds if a DH+ connection is detected and nothing is being transmitted on the DH+ link. When there is data being transmitted it will blink much faster. It will remain off if the DH+ network is not connected.
