Getting Started with MAXserver Access Servers

Link L1 refers to the Ethernet transceiver cable or 10BASE-T network cable;
that is, the server is loading parameters via the LAN. If the message count
remains at zero after you type several <RETURN>s, the load server is
properly configured, but does not have a defined parameter file.
Loading from the Network
Problem: While loading from the network, no messages appear after you
type several <RETURN>s. (Note that when the MAXserver is loading from
a flash card, you do not see any messages, and cannot access the access
server.)
Correct Operation: The port normally autobauds to the correct baud rate
when you press several <RETURN>s. Once a port speed has been selected,
the port light illuminates. In the first 20 seconds after power up, the server
runs the self tests and does not respond to the <RETURN>s. Shortly after
power up, however, the port displays a message in response to a
<RETURN>.
Possible Solutions: Determine whether the port is receiving characters
properly. Type several <RETURN>s and make sure the PORT light is ON
steadily. This indicates that the MAXserver has received characters and
selected a communication speed.
If the port is receiving characters, the MAXserver might have autobauded to
the wrong speed. Press the <BREAK> key to re-initialize the autobaud
sequence, then type several <RETURN>s.
If the port is not receiving characters, a cable or device problem exists. Try
changing the type of cable used (e.g., change from straight-through to
crossover). Note that a MAXserver-to-DTE device configuration requires a
crossover cable connection. Refer to Appendix B for cable descriptions and
order codes.
