SI Installation and Upgrades
June 2004
Installing and administering the terminal
server
Make sure you have all the equipment on site before the installation. You must have the hardware listed
in
Table 43
.
You also need a computer (laptop) with the HyperTerminal software program for the initial
administration of the IOLAN+ and to set up the ports.
The general process is to
•
Connect the IOLAN+ to the adjunct and the LAN
•
Administer the ports on the IOLAN+ using a PC or laptop at the local site
•
Test the connectivity back through the switch
Distance limits
The distance limit from the switch to the LAN hub is 328 feet (100 meters). The distance limit from the
LAN hub to the terminal server is 328 feet (100 meters). If installed, the limit from the terminal server to
the adjunct is 50 feet (15 meters).
However, to achieve greater distance limits, the switch’s LAN hub/router may be connected to a WAN
and the hub/router for the terminal server also connected to the same WAN.
