23 FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Mounting the FS1 Chassis
Mounting the FS1 Chassis
Physical
Requirements
You can locate your chassis in two ways:
•
Rackmounting—attach the FS1 (rear or front mounted) to a standard 19-inch wide
equipment rack. The chassis occupies only one vertical rack unit.
• Desktop—lay it on a horizontal flat surface.
Chassis Dimensions
When planning the equipment location, consider the chassis dimensions:
Height—1 rack unit, 1.75 inches (4.445 cm)
Depth—12 inches (30.48 cm)
Width—17.25 inches (43.8 cm)
Connecting to a Network
You can network the FS1 directly to a laptop or other desktop computer using a single
Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over), or connect it to a local area network (LAN). In
either case, the FS1 connects via its 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connector. A LAN is a
shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all attached via a hub or digital
switch. LANs may be divided into zones separated by software or hardware routers.
Routers may also be used to connect the LAN to an outside wide area network (WAN)
such as the internet.
Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be fixed and permanent, or dynamically
assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching the FS1 to a LAN, talk to your network
administrator to find out how they want it connected (static IP or DHCP). Your IT
department will be able to supply the information you need to install the FS1 on a LAN.
TCP/IP Information
You
’ ll Need
If your LAN has a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses dynamically, then you don’t
have to configure anything (the FS1 defaults to DHCP). If for some reason your IT
administrator prefers an assigned IP address that is fixed (static IP), then get the IP
address—you’ll be entering it in the “IP CONFIG parameter” of the FS1. If your LAN
requires static IP addresses, also ask your IT administrator for the
Subnet Mask and
default gateway IP address (your LAN’s internet router). The following two topics
discuss two different ways to set up the FS1: via DHCP or via a static IP address.
