Hardware Installation

Perform the following steps to install the hardware system:

Mount the A-Stop test station box on a wall or preferred location.
Connect the A-Stop test station box to the power supply.
Note: Do not power on the box yet (this action will be done later on in this procedure).
Identify the network port/cable.
Note: Do not connect the cable yet (this action will be done later on in this procedure).
Ensure that the A-Stop antenna on the test station box is properly connected.

A-Stop System Installation and Configuration

Perform the following steps for the A-Stop system installation and configuration:

Set up the A-Stop test station hardware and follow the steps below:
1. Connect the Cat^® Communications Adapter to the Cat^® Electronic Technician (Cat ET) port on the A-Stop test station box. This process will power ON the test station.
2. Connect the Cat Communications Adapter to the PC.
3. Open Cat ET.
Using Cat ET, verify the installed software version on the health interface module using the Electronic Control Module (ECM) summary page. The correct version can be found on below link:
http://dealer.cat.com

Note: If the software version is incorrect, using Winflash, flash the correct version onto the health interface module.
For more information on Winflash or Cat ET, refer to the Cat ET "Help" option.
For more information on ECM flashing refer to Special Instruction , REHS3692 , "Procedure to flash an Electronic Control Module".
Turn OFF power to the A-Stop test station.
Exit Cat ET, then disconnect the Communications Adapter from the PC and the A-Stop test station.
