2 - Installation
This chapter covers the installation of the MSS in an Ethernet network and the attachment of a
serial device (MSS1-T and MSS1-T2) or RS-485 devices and a serial console (MSS485). Basic
knowledge of networking installation is assumed. Read this section completely before continuing.
2.1 MSS1 Components
The MSS1 front panel has a male DB25 serial connector.
Figure 2-1: MSS1 Front Panel
The MSS rear panel has an RJ45 Ethernet connector, a BNC Ethernet connector (MSS1-T2 only), a
reset button, and a power connector.

NOTE: When the reset button is pressed and held during the power up and boot
procedures, the MSS returns to its factory default configuration.
The MSS1-T2 can autosense which Ethernet interface has been connected so long as a valid
network is present at boot time. Only one interface can be used at a time.
Four LEDs are located on the top of the unit. The first LED is a Power indicator, and should remain
green while the MSS is plugged in. The second is a network Link indicator, and should remain
green while the MSS is connected properly to a 10BASE-T network.
NOTE: The Link LED does not function for 10BASE2 connections.
