Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to set up the Freeway communications server and connect
it to the network.
Step 1:
Review the safety guidelines in the “ Safety Precautions ” section on page 15 .
Step 2:
Place your Freeway in the selected location. It can be installed in any standard 19-inch
rack. It can also be set on a table top where it will occupy about three square feet. There
should be room to set a monitor nearby and enough clearance to ensure that the air
vents will not be blocked.
The Freeway has an autoranging power supply to accommodate different voltages and
frequencies (100 to 120 VAC, 200 to 240 VAC: 50 to 60 Hz). The Freeway 1200 must be
near one grounded, three-wire electrical outlet and the Freeway 1300 must be near two
outlets. Because the Freeway 1300 has dual independent hot-swappable power supplies,
you may want the outlets to be on separate circuits or feeds. Appendix C describes how
to replace a power supply.
The Freeway must also be near the LAN and WAN connectors that will be plugged into
it.
These are
generally the
same:
3100/3150,
3200/7200
