Powering Up the Terminal Server

Powering Up the Terminal Server

Serial Only Models

To power up the Terminal Server, perform the following steps:

Plug the external power supply into the Terminal Server and then into the electrical outlet.

You will see the LEDs cycle for several seconds and then remain a solid green, indicating that it
is ready to configure/use.

Before you start to configure the Terminal Server, you should set the Terminal Server jumpers if you
want to terminate the line or use the power in pin feature (instead of an external power supply, if your
desktop Terminal Server model supports it).

In some circumstances, the setting of jumpers may be required:

Terminal Server models where EIA-422/485 line termination is required.

See

Appendix C, Setting Jumpers

on page 129

to see how to set the jumpers for your Terminal

Server desktop model.
