the unit. Alternate power cords are available for all national connector standards. The
standard AC power module has dual inputs.
The DC power module operates on –48 VDC, with 1.5 A maximum operating current,
and 5 A maximum surge current. DC power must be externally protected against over-
current. Each DC power module features dual power inputs.
See Appendix D for further specifications and instructions regarding DC power
requirements and installation.

Connecting to the Sys Admin Port
The cable kit P/N 200.0135 contains the necessary adapters to interface the system
administrator port on the control card to a laptop or a terminal. The control card can be
removed from the system without turning off power if it is necessary to change the
factory default settings of this port (however, the system will reboot once the control
card is re-inserted). Using the adapters in the kit, follow the steps outlined below, and
interface to the 'port A' on the control card to a laptop or terminal.
The factory default communications settings for the system administrator port are 9600
baud, one stop bit, no parity, eight data bits, and DCE (9600 8N1 DCE). The settings
can be changed using the DIP switches shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
The administration functions may also be reached via telnet. However, it is first
necessary to configure the network card through the direct serial connection.
1.
Turn on power to the terminal or computer. If using a computer, start the desired
communication program. The terminal or communications program used must
be in VT100 emulation mode. Note that the VT100 functions keys are not always
mapped to the terminal or computer function keys; consult the appropriate
documentation for further information.
2.
Ensure that the communications settings are correct. The factory defaults for the
control card, which may only be changed by a hardware DIP switch, are 9600
baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity (9600 8N1). If in doubt as to the
current communication settings on the control card, check the DIP switches and
refer to Figure 2, Control Card Layout with DIP Switch Settings.
3.
Locate the serial port on the terminal or computer and determine what type of
connector is used. The cable kit included with the ConsoleServer 3200 contains
each of the following: one RJ45 serial cable, an RJ45 to male DB9 adapter, an
RJ45 to female DB9 adapter, an RJ45 to male DB25 adapter, and an RJ45 to
female DB25 adapter. Select the appropriate adapter for the serial port on the
terminal or computer.
