Appendix D: Connecting Serial Devices to Paragon II System
200
If the device has some other type of serial port, call Raritan Technical
Support.
2. If you need temporary “crash cart” access or permanent local control,
you can set up a “local user station” (consisting of a keyboard and
VGA monitor only) to AUATC. The keyboard can be either PS/2 or
Sun type; a Sun keyboard will require a special setting in the Setup
Screen.
To set up a “local user station,” plug a PS/2 keyboard into AUATC's
6-pin mini-DIN connector, or a Sun keyboard into its 8-pin mini-DIN
connector. Then plug a VGA monitor into AUATC's HD15 connector.
Note: This local station will contend for keyboard control with the
remote user stations attached to Paragon user stations based on a
fixed one-second activity timeout. As soon as there has been no
keyboard activity from the local station for one second, a remote
station can take keyboard control, and vice versa.
3. Plug in and turn on the device. If possible, set it to communicate at
9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. (These don't have to
be the permanent serial settings, but the device must be set this way
to establish initial communication with AUATC; later you can
configure both the device and AUATC to better settings. If the device
can't be configured for these settings, you'll need to temporarily
attach a server or other device that can be.)
4. Plug AUATC's power supply into AUATC and a working AC outlet. If
AUATC is installed and operating properly, AUATC's green LED will
start blinking: once per second while the CIM is idle, more quickly
while it's passing data in either direction.
5. Connect one end of a Cat5 UTP cable to the RJ45 port on AUATC.
Connect the other end of the cable to RJ45 channel port #1 on the
back of one of your Paragon Base Units, or to the RJ45 port on the
back of a user station if you want Direct Mode access (see User
Station Direct Mode (on page 165) for additional information).
