Eagle TX Series AMOS Based Terminal Server Technical Manual, Rev. 01
Data cables should not be located near high voltage power lines, power transformers, telephone cables, or
in elevator shafts. They should not cross walkways. If you must cross walkways, cover the cables with a
cable bridge.
You must also take cable lengths into consideration. Single-ended circuits are susceptible to all forms of
electromagnetic interference. As line length increases beyond fifty feet, the reliability of the RS-232C
cable connected to a terminal or printer decreases rapidly. If local terminals are to be located further than
fifty feet from the terminal server, we recommend you use low capacitance twisted-paired overall
shielded cables. If this cable does not solve your problem, then signal conditioning equipment will be
needed to improve the signal.
Verifying Voltage Compatibility
Different parts of the world use different standards for electricity. For example, most areas of the United
States use 115 Volt electricity. Many other areas of the world use 220—240 Volt electricity.
The terminal server can work with either voltage if its input voltage switch is set correctly. The switch is
on the power supply near the top of your product’s back panel. Verify the input voltage setting before
plugging in your terminal server.
If your terminal server is not set to the voltage you require, do not change the switch setting
without checking with your VAR first. Your VAR will insure that you have the proper input
voltage switch setting and power cord for your installation.
The power supply has one standard AC power receptacle. One standard 115 VAC power cord is
packaged with your terminal server.
Turning the Eagle TX Series On
1.
Verify once again that your Eagle TX Series product has been configured correctly for the AC
power service in your region.
2.
Place the terminal server in the site you have chosen for it. Insert the socket end of the AC power
cord firmly over the three prongs in the power cord receptacle in the back panel. Then plug the
pronged end of the cord into an electrical outlet.
3.
Turn on the terminal server by pushing the power button on the front panel.
4.
Now, check to make sure power is on:
•
Is the Power indicator light on the front panel lit? (See Figure 3-1.)
•
Is the cooling fan running? To check the fan, place your hand behind the fan opening in
the back panel; you should feel air blowing out.
If the fan and the power light are on, you can proceed with installing the operator terminal. But first,
turn the Eagle TX Series off!
