2: Installation
This chapter covers the physical installation of the MSS in a wired or wireless Ethernet network. If you are
installing the MSS for the first time, you must either attach a terminal to one of the serial ports or connect
the MSS to a wired Ethernet network so you can configure the proper 802.11 settings for wireless
networking.
In addition, this chapter explains:
The components of all MSS4 models, including front panel, back panel, and LEDs (see
MSS4
Components on page 2-1
).
How to install the MSS4 in a wired networking environment (see
Installing in a Wired Network on page
2-3
).
How to install an 802.11 card in the MSS4 for use in a wireless networking environment (see
Installing
an 802.11 Card on page 2-5
).
How to install an ATA Flash card (
Installing an ATA Flash Card on page 2-6
).
How to install a modem card (
Installing a Modem Card on page 2-7
).
Basic knowledge of networking installation is assumed. Read this chapter completely before continuing.
MSS4 Components
There are currently four different models of the MSS4. The following sections will discuss the specific
components for each model. The LEDs are identical across all models.
MSS4-D/DFP Front Panel
The MSS4-D and MSS4-DFP front panels have four DB9 serial port connectors and an RJ45 Ethernet
connector. The MSS4-DFP also has a 100BASE-FX fiber link Ethernet connector.
