An Overview to Setting Up the Communication Server
Preliminary Tasks
Certain basic server setup tasks are not covered in this manual. You must,
however, perform these tasks before you proceed to set up access serving
features. These basic tasks include:
• Install the server hardware and connect devices to the ports.
For information about this task, refer to Model 3395/3395A Hardware
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
• Install the server software at a load server.
You can install the software on a VAX host, a UNIX host, or a Model
3395A server. The LattisNet Model 3395 Software Installation Guide
supplied with your software kit details the procedures to do this. The
software kit information supplied with your software kit will contain a list
of load images.
• Initialize the unit.
The Model 3395/3395A Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
and Release Notes for the Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server supplied
with the hardware explain how to initialize the unit with the load image by
pressing the Reset button.
NOTE: The next section of this chapter covers the Model 3395A server
cabling methods, which can be used with modem applications. The
hardware documentation supplied with your Model 3395A server
includes cabling information for other types of devices.
