Pre-configuration of the STX ACS is required only when using the STX-1000 controller. When using other models of STX controllers, for example, STX-2200, no pre-configuration is required, as this model works via Ethernet and connects to ACFA Intellect directly.

The STX-1000 ACS operates with ACFA Intellect via a serial interface converter in Ethernet Moxa NPort.

The STX-1000 ACS is pre-configured as follows:

  1. Connect the STX-1000 controller to the Moxa NPort converter, and connect the converter to ACFA Intellect.
  2. Go to the web interface of the Moxa NPort Converter.
  3. In the main menu, select Operating Settings (1).
  4. In the Operation mode drop-down list (2), select TCP Server mode.
  5. The Local TCP port field (3) indicates the port that will need to be specified for connecting the STX-1000 ACS (see Configuring the STX ACS connection).
  6. Click the Submit button (4) to save the changes.

The STX-1000 ACS is now pre-configured.
