Lightwave Communications 3200 Manuale Utente

 

11

 
The network card runs at 10 Mbits, half-duplex, with no auto-negotiation.  The device 
used to connect the ConsoleServer to the network (i.e., a hub or switch) must support 
this configuration.  It is essential that the network device does not attempt auto-
negotiation; the ConsoleServer network card does not support this and will fail to 
establish a functioning link if auto-negotiation is used. 
 
Materials: 

•

  ConsoleServer 3200 network port 

•

  network point-of-connection (i.e., a switch or hub) 

•

  RJ45-terminated Cat 5 cable (standard LAN cable) 

 
1. 

Configure the ConsoleServer network parameters to the desired values as 
outlined in section 6.5. 

 
2. 

Configure the network point-of-connection.  It must be manually set to 10 Mbits, 
half-duplex, with no auto-negotiation. 

 
3. 

Connect the ConsoleServer network port to the network using a standard LAN 
cable. 

 
4. 

Check the status lights at the network end of the connection.  It should indicate a 
good link.  Try reaching the IP address assigned to the ConsoleServer by using 
PING

 or TELNET.  If there is a problem, check the network configuration on both 

ends. 

 
5.3 Modem 

 
Materials: 

•

  ConsoleServer 3200 modem port 

•

  Analog telephone line (POTS) 

•

  RJ11 modular telephone cable 

 
1. 

Locate the modular jack for the telephone line to be used.  Select a telephone 
cable with sufficient length to reach between the jack and the ConsoleServer. 

 
2. 

Connect one end of the telephone cable to the jack.  Connect the other end to 
the ConsoleServer modem port. 

 
3. 

Make sure the ConsoleServer is powered.  Dial the telephone number of the line 
connected to the ConsoleServer.  The modem should automatically answer.  If 
not, check the telephone line and connections.
