A four-step file-transfer preparation
- Identify the ACA media. Use Hirschmann Adapter Cable, M12-5pin to USB Part Number 942199001 for the listed ACA21-M12 EEC or ACA22-M12 EEC connection, not for an unspecified M12 device.
- Check the computer environment. Before connecting Hirschmann Adapter Cable, M12-5pin to USB Part Number 942199001, verify the software, operating system and interface requirements in the applicable ACA instructions.
- Preserve the existing configuration. A transfer using Hirschmann Adapter Cable, M12-5pin to USB Part Number 942199001 does not establish that the file matches the destination model, firmware or site settings; record those associations separately.
- Use a suitable working location. The IP20 rating of Hirschmann Adapter Cable, M12-5pin to USB Part Number 942199001 does not describe a sealed outdoor computer connection, even if the ACA equipment serves a demanding installation.
Separate this cable from the BXS accessory
The BXS configuration cable is a different catalog item from Hirschmann Adapter Cable, M12-5pin to USB Part Number 942199001. Label the service kit with part number 942199001 and the ACA file-transfer purpose. A common M12-to-USB description is not sufficient evidence that the two cables can be exchanged.
Specify Hirschmann Adapter Cable, M12-5pin to USB Part Number 942199001 as the cable only unless additional equipment is deliberately included in the request. Identify the ACA device, the target network equipment and any required computer software separately. This keeps a small transfer accessory from being mistaken for a complete configuration or memory package.
