CHAPTER 5—SETUP
SUMMARY OF SETUP STEPS This chapter describes the steps for setting up the Power Server. To do this,
you perform these main tasks:
1. Configure the Power Server communication connection using your laptop
or PC.
2. Configure the PowerLogic System application using NetMeeting.
CONFIGURING THE POWER SERVER
COMMUNICATION CONNECTION
To set up the Power Server communication connection, you will need to
obtain a unique static IP address, subnet mask, and router IP address from
your network administrator.
Two methods of configuration are possible:
• Use a null modem serial cable and HyperTerminal. See Using a Null
Modem Serial Cable to Configure the Power Server in the section that
follows. This method is recommended.
• Use an Ethernet cross-over cable and NetMeeting. This method is
described in Appendix C—Using a Crossover Cable to Configure the
Power Server on page 33.
Using a Null Modem Serial Cable to Configure
the Power Server
1. Connect and apply power to the Power Server. Allow approximately five
minutes for the Power Server to complete the boot process.
2. Connect the null modem cable from the serial port on your PC to COM 1
of the Power Server.

Explorer taskbar, click Start > Programs > Accessories >
Communications > HyperTerminal.
NOTE: This path is typical for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The path
may differ for other platforms.
