Getting Started with MAXserver Access Servers

NBase-Xyplex recommends that you label all cables with the name of the
device to which it connects and the number of the port you have assigned to
it. This way, if the cable is removed for any reason, you can reconnect it
easily. If the device cables have not yet been prepared with the correct RJ-45
connectors, see the Cabling Considerations later in this guide.
Additional Considerations for an Internet Environment
If you plan to use the unit in an Internet environment, you must define
addressing and identification characteristics to enable Internet hosts to
recognize the unit as a member of the network. See the IP Addresses section
later in this guide for information about configuring the unit for an Internet
environment.
Factory Defaults Settings
Each MAXserver unit is configured at the factory to use a default set of
initialization parameters that sets all ports to operate with asynchronous
ASCII terminal devices in order to obtain a software image. For most
configurations, the default settings can load without any configuration
changes. If you are not connecting keyboard terminals or PCs running
VT100 terminal emulation software, proceed to “Logging in to the
MAXserver.”
The unit is also configured at the factory to store parameters locally in Non-
volatile storage (NVS) or on a flash card, if one is installed, and remotely at
any properly configured parameter server. The following table lists the
factory default settings.
NOTE:
The default settings listed in this table are for Initialization Record
1 only. Initialization Records 2 and 3 are not enabled at the
factory. However, if you enable Records 2 and 3, their default
settings are the same as Record 1.
