See Appendix 12,
Pinouts
, for information about what kinds of device attachments
the Terminal Server supports.
3
Connect an Ethernet cable to
either
the 10/100BASE-T port (shown)
or
a
transceiver connected to the AUI port.
The Terminal Server will boot without a valid Ethernet connection, but it will pause
to print a message asking if you want to stop at the Boot> prompt. If you do not re-
spond to this message, it will wait for 10 seconds and then finish booting.
4
If desired, connect a terminal to the Terminal Server console port (port 1). This will
enable you to receive diagnostic and initial configuration messages.
Note:
The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bit characters, and no
parity.
5
Attach one end of the power cable to the Terminal Server and plug the other end into
an electrical outlet.
6
Flip the power switch to the ON position. The Terminal Server will go through two
steps to begin normal operation:
A
It runs through a set of power-up diagnostics for approximately 12 seconds. The
LEDs show varying patterns corresponding to the tests being run.
B
It tries to obtain TCP/IP configuration information via DHCP, BOOTP, and
RARP. This may take as long as 15 seconds if no hosts answer the requests.
During this step, the OK LED blinks approximately 3 times per second and the
NET LED blinks occasionally.
7
Install EZWebCon on your 32-bit Windows PC, Apple Macintosh, or Solaris com-
puter. The EZWebCon software is located on the distribution CD-ROM.
2.3 Was the Installation Successful?
If the Terminal Server appears to be working and the unit is connected to the network, there
are a couple of ways to confirm that the unit is visible to network hosts:
If the Terminal Server has an IP address, ping it from a TCP/IP host.
If the Terminal Server has an IP address, use EZWebCon to log into it.
If the Terminal Server does not have an IP address, assign one by following the in-
structions in Section 5.1 on page 20.
When you are satisfied that the Terminal Server is working properly, proceed to Chapter 3,
Getting Started
. If the Terminal Server does not boot properly, see Appendix 11,
Troubleshooting
.
