CommLink 5 Technical Guide
OVERVIEW
General Information
CommLink 5 Overview Installing CommLink 5 ONLY
The OE361-13 CommLink 5 is used to transfer communications between controllers or local loops on your control system. It can also be used as an interface for connection of a computer to your system.
When you are using the CommLink 5 in an application without a computer or IP Module, follow Steps 1 through 3 in the Quick
Guide on page 4.
The CommLink 5 provides communication with the control system through any computer that is running Prism 2 software. For remote communications, an IP Module Kit can be installed for LAN and
Internet connections.
WARNING:
If you are replacing an earlier version of the
CommLink with a CommLink 5, be aware that the polarity of the terminal block is reversed on the CommLink 5 from all previous models. You must always confi rm that the polarity is correct when wiring 24 VAC power to the CommLink power terminal block or serious damage to the product will result.
Optional IP Module Kit
The OE415-02 IP Module Kit, when installed and confi gured in the CommLink 5 communication interface, provides TCP IP Internet and/or intranet connection for Ethernet networked computer systems, allowing them to communicate with your control system.
The OE415-02 IP Module Kit consists of the IP Module and a 10 ft. long CAT5 Ethernet crossover cable.
NOTE:
Please note, the R(+) and T(-) terminals on the communications terminal block are reversed from all previous versions of the CommLink.
System Requirements
Using standard TCP/IP Protocol, with WattMaster’s Prism 2 software, you are able to monitor and confi gure your controllers without a modem or a direct connection from a PC. Utilizing existing routers, proxies, or fi rewalls allows a PC running Prism 2 to connect to a controller in a remote accessible location or building. Several IP connection profi les can be created to facilitate monitoring several
CommLink 5’s with IP Module Kits installed on individual sites.
To program the CommLink 5 to work with Prism 2, you will need:
Standard Items (Required)
•
CommLink 5 with USB cable and power adapter
• A PC with an Ethernet communications port or USB port (supplied by others)
• USB drivers on CD-ROM (supplied and also downloadable from any of our websites)
• Microsoft
®
2000, Vista, 7, 8, or 10
(must be installed on the computer you are going to use)
• Prism 2 software, version 4.0.3 or later (can be downloaded from any of our websites)
Optional Items
•
IP Module Kit that comes with Ethernet RJ-45
Crossover CAT 5, 10 ft. long cable for LAN, and Internet
• MiniLink, MiniLink PD, or MinkLink PD 5

Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide
Follow the fi ve steps below to get your CommLink up and running in no time.
NOTE:
If you are using the CommLink 5 without utilizing
Prism 2, you need only perform Steps 1 through 3.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
First install the USB drivers, then follow the included
CommLink 5 connection and wiring instructions sheet
(Figure 1 on page 5) to connect and confi gure the
Step 1:

Connecting the Network
Proxy and Firewall Compatibility
Proxy and Firewall confi gurations
may become necessary when the CommLink 5 is connected to a LAN/WAN that is protected by a commercially available Firewall, Proxy, or NAT enabled router. Examples of these would include Cisco, NetGear, LinkSys, or WatchGuard Technologies. Also, some ISPs provide IP Address ranges that are already fi re-walled at the NOC or ISP Head-End.
Make sure that your IT Department or ISP can create a mapped TCP port 39288 on your fi rewall/proxy to TCP port 39288 on the assigned
IP Address of the CommLink 5.
Only with proper confi guration of the Firewall/Proxy are connections to the CommLink 5 from outside of the local area network going to be possible. Check that the Firewall/Proxy TCP port 39288 is not set to time out or reset after a specifi ed amount of time when there is no traffi c from the remote PC.

• Verify that the correct CommLink mode is selected
under Network Confi guration in the Job-Sites Window.
Problems with USB Connection
•
Verify that the TX-USB and RX-USB are blinking
when you perform a Search for Units or try to open a
status screen in Prism 2.
•
If the USB LEDs fail to blink, disconnect and
reconnect the USB connection.
• If the problem persists, verify that the USB drivers
have been installed properly.
Problems Viewing Multiple Controllers on a Network
•
Make sure that the CommLink’s communication
switch is set to Multiple.
•
In Prism 2, make sure that Multiple Loop Confi guration is
selected for Network Confi guration in the Job-Sites
Window.

Troubleshooting the COM Port Number
Changing the USB COM Port Number
When the CommLink 5 is fi rst plugged in, it will be assigned a
COM port number to be used for communicating with the Prism 2 software. If the port number is 10 or greater, it needs to be changed to a value less than 10 to be recognized by Prism 2.
1. Click
<start>
, click
<Control Panel>
, click
<System>
, click the
<Device Manager>
<Hardware>
tab, and then click
to get to the Device
Manager Window.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Ports to see all of the COM ports.
4. To assign a port number less than 10, click on
<Advanced>
.
The Advanced Settings Window will appear.
3. Right-click on “USB Serial Port (COM#)” and select
<Properties>.
In the Properties Window, select the
<Port Settings>
tab.
5. In the COM Port Number drop box, select which COM port you wish to use. Make sure you select a COM port number that is not currently in use (you can see the ports in use in the Device Manager Window). Select a port number that is less than 10.
NOTE:
Windows
®
will assign a port number to every device that has ever been installed on your computer. So if there are no available ports below 10, choose a port number less than 10 for a device listed that you know you are not currently using.
6. Once you select the correct COM port number, click
<OK>
and close any windows opened in the process of changing the port number. Make note of this number because you will need it for your Prism 2 setup.
