Starting up the MAX
To start up the MAX, perform the following steps:
1
If you are using a PC, configure the terminal-emulation function in your communications
software as follows:
–
9600 bps
–
8 data bits
–
No parity
–
1 stop bit
–
No flow control
–
Direct connect
2
Make sure that you can see the LEDs on the front-panel of the MAX while you view the
VT100 or palmtop display.
3
Connect one end of the ac power cord to a power source and the other end to the MAX.
The Power-On Self-Test (POST) begins and finishes within one minute.
4
While the POST is running, watch the LEDs.
If the Power LED is on and the Fault LED is off, the MAX is operating properly. You can
continue with the next step.
If either the Power LED is off or the Fault LED is on, remove the power cord and do not
continue. Contact your Ascend distributor.

Watch the VT100 or palmtop display during the POST. When the POST is successful, the
following screen appears:
