5.2 Network Card
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 Card
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.
