Models 2211 & 2232 Getting Started Guide
2 • Getting started
2. Verify that the power cord included with your device server is compatible with local standards. If it is not,
refer to chapter 5,
“Contacting Patton for assistance”
on page 32 to find out how to replace it with a com-
patible power cord.
3. Connect the male end of the DC power supply power cord to an appropriate AC power outlet. Verify that
the Power LED maintain a solid red.
Connecting the device server to the network
Refer to the appropriate section below to connect your device server to the network:
•
Model 2232: See section
“Connecting to the wireless LAN (Model 2211 only)”
on page 21 to connect an
Ethernet cable between the Model 2232 and Ethernet hub or switch
•
Model 2211: See section
“Connecting to the wireless LAN (Model 2211 only)”
on page 21 to connect the
Model device server to the wireless LAN
Connecting the Ethernet cable (Model 2232 only)
Connect the one end of the Ethernet cable to the Model 2232 10Base-T Ethernet port (see
figure 3
on page 19)
and the other to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the Model 2232 will indicate a valid
connection to the Ethernet network as follows:
•
Link LED of the Model 2232 maintains solid green
•
Act LED continuously blinks to indicate the incoming/outgoing Ethernet packets
If either of the above do not occur, the Model 2232 is not properly connected to the Ethernet network.
Connecting to the wireless LAN (Model 2211 only)
When power is connected correctly, the Model 2211 will automatically search for the 802.11b wireless local
area network (LAN) access point (AP) and attempt to connect to the wireless LAN AP. The Model 2211 will
indicate a valid connection to the wireless LAN AP as follows:
•
The Link LED lamp on the 2211 front panel will remain solid orange.
•
The Act LED lamp on the 2211 front panel will blink continuously to indicate that incoming and outgoing
wireless LAN packets are being transferred
Before connecting the Model 2211 to a wireless LAN access point, users must first set the corresponding infor-
mation on the 2211, such as the SSID of the Wireless LAN access point.
Refer to chapter 3,
“Wireless LAN configuration (Model 2211 only)”
on page 30 to set the appropriate param-
eters for a wireless LAN connection.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use
and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-
age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.
