Configuration
Chapter 2
Installation
Overview
The AVA-E may be configured using a LAN connection and a web browser, through a USB connection to
a local PC, or through an RS-232 serial connection to a local PC. A more limited set of configuration
options are available through a telnet session, as described in the
Telnet Setup
section.
The AVA-E is most easily configured using a web browser directed to its address. If the default address of
192.168.0.1 is appropriate for your local network, then plug it in and simply direct your web browser to the
AVA-E and continue with configuration. If this address is not appropriate for your network, the AVA-E’s
IP address must be configured using the initial terminal method below.
Setup
The network ports must be configured properly for the type of link used (Sync serial, Async serial or
LAN). If required, the
ASYNC DATA
port and voice port must also be set correctly for the application.
See details of the CN, CP and CV commands in the section on
USB Configuration Port
. For applications
using the ethernet LAN, see details in the section on
Web Browser Configuration
.
Using Leased Line Modems
In this section, a reference to “the modem” includes modems, digital radios or DSU/CSUs for leased line
installations. Additionally, a reference to the “network port” is specifically the
SYNC NETWORK
port on
the AVA-E:
The LAN port will not be used in the configuration described in this section
.
Connect the modems to the phone line and power ON the modems. Confirm the presence of carrier at each
modem. If carrier is not detected at both ends, recheck the option settings. If carrier is still not present,
check the cable from the telephone line to the modem. If everything is correct and still no carrier call the
manufacturer of the modem or contact the telephone company for assistance.
Connect the AVA-E network port to the modem. A two foot RJ45 to DB-25 male cable connects the
network port of the AVA-E to the data port of the modem (usually a DB-25 female connector). See the
Cables
section for details.
Connect the AVA-Es to power.
Power and CD indicators on the front panel of the AVA-E must be ON indicating the on-line condition
(see Chapter 1:
Front Panel LED Indicators and Connections
).
Cabling
Cabling between the AVA-E and the computer ports or terminal devices is a common source of installation
problems. The AVA-E must have data from attached terminal devices or computer ports as an input on
position 6 of the
ASYNC DATA
RJ45 connector. Data from the AVA-E to any attached equipment will be
transmitted on position 5 of the same RJ45 connector. See the
Cables
section of this document for pin
position locations on the RJ45 connector and to determine the correct cables for your computer and
terminal devices.
