Installation

To install the ETS, complete the following steps in order. Refer to the numbers in the previous figure.

1.Select a location for the ETS.

When choosing a location, keep in mind the environmental restrictions discussed in E:Specifications.

2.Connect one or more serial devices to the ETS.

Note: The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bit characters, no parity, 1 stop bit, and Xon-Xoff flow control. See C:Pinouts for information on what kinds of device attachments the ETS supports.

3.It is recommended to connect a terminal to the ETS console port (port 1). This will enable you to receive diagnostic and initial configuration messages.

4.Connect an Ethernet cable to either the 10BASE-T port (shown) or a transceiver connected to the AUI port.

Note: The ETS will boot without a valid Ethernet connection, but it will pause to print a message (seen on the console port) asking if you want to stop at the Boot> prompt. If you do not respond to this message, it will wait for 10 seconds and then finish booting.

5.Attach one end of the power cable to the ETS and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

6.Flip the power switch to turn the unit ON. The ETS will go through two steps to begin normal operation:

a)It runs through a set of power-up diagnostics for approximately 12 seconds. The LEDs show varying patterns corresponding to the tests being run.

b)It tries to obtain TCP/IP configuration information via DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP. This may take as long as 15 seconds if no hosts answer the requests. During this step, the OK LED blinks approximately 3 times per second and the NET LED blinks occasionally.

7.Install EZWebCon on your 32-bit Windows PC computer. The EZWebCon software is located on the distribution CD-ROM. Alternatively, download it from ftp://ftp.lantronix.com.
