Initial Configuration
To operate MGW 2000e for the first time, you have to initialize
MGW 2000e using HyperTerminal, which is pre-installed on
the Configuration PC.
The Configuration PC must have at least one free serial port. To
enable the Configuration PC to communicate with MGW
2000e, you have to first add a direct network connection and a
HyperTerminal connection.
You may add and configure conections manually or use pre-
configured configuration files available on the MGW 2000e
CD.
To use pre-configured configuration files, refer to the next
page.
To add the required connections manually, refer to the user
manual.
Before you initialize MGW 2000e:
1. To avoid network conflicts, make sure that no other
network device with the hostname MGW2000E is
connected to the network.
2. Use a serial cable to connect MGW 2000e's RS-232 port to
a free serial port (e.g. COM1) on the Configuration PC.
3. Use a network cable to connect MGW 2000e's NIC A to
the network.
To connect NIC B as well, refer to the user manual for
further information and instructions.
Note
To ensure proper network communication, we recommend using shielded
Category 5 network cables.
