The DC leads should be 22 AWG or larger. They should be terminated with a #5 ring terminal or
larger depending on the wire size used.
NOTE:
The LX-4000 will run with only one DC power feed connected. The second input is provided
for redundant system power, which is used in high reliability installations.
6. Attach the clear plastic safety guard to the terminal blocks. (The clear plastic safety guard is pro-
vided with the LX-4000 kit.)
Modem Port (Optional)
The modem port is a V.90/K56flex Kbps optional factory installed modem on the LX-4000 Series. The
modem port allows you to dial back from, or dial in to or out of the LX-4000. If the modem is present,
connect your phone line to the modem’s RJ11 connector. If the modem is not installed, the RJ11
connector will not be present on the rear of the unit. In LX-4048 models, the modem port is on the
front of the unit.
The Modem port number is as follows for LX-4000 models:
•
LX-4008 - port number 9
•
LX-4016 - port number 17
•
LX-4032 - port number 33
•
LX-4048 - port number 49

show port async 33 modem
command to display a screen
containing the LX-4032 modem port fields.
Powering On
The Power On Self Test (POST) starts when you apply power to the LX-4000 Series unit. The port
status LEDs flicker and the
FLT
LED remains on while the test is running (this may take only a few
seconds). If the unit passes the POST test, the
FLT
LED extinguishes, and the
OK
LED turns green. If
there is a failure, the
FLT
LED stays on, and the port status LEDs begin flashing an error code. Refer
to Appendix C for an explanation of the codes.
When the POST test is completed, you are presented with two options:
[B] Boot System
and
[L]
Login to System Setup
. If you choose neither, the unit boots on its own after eight seconds. If you
type
L
, a password prompt appears. The default password is
access
. The Main Menu appears after
you enter the password. The Main Menu allows you to change the boot settings and IP address
assignments. You can review the factory default boot setting by referring to the “ppciboot Factory
Default Settings” on page 50. The system loads the LX-Series software from flash and then loads the
system configuration file.
If the LX boots with default operational parameters, the Quick Configuration menu appears. Refer to
the “System Maintenance” chapter in the
LX-Series Configuration Guide
for further information on
the Main menu. Refer to “First Time Quick Configuration” on page 25 for further details on the Quick
Configuration menu.
