Accessing the PowerStation Utilities

2If you are using a PS/2 style keyboard, the keyboard should be plugged into the keyboard port.

3If you are using an AT style keyboard, make sure the Y cable is attached to the keyboard port.

4Try using a new Y adapter cable.

5Try using a new keyboard.

A USB keyboard or mouse doesn’t work (15” only)

1The keyboard or mouse is defective.

2Try a different brand. Some brands of keyboard and mice may not be recognized by the Legacy Keyboard/Mouse BIOS function.

The Ethernet port doesn’t work

1Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in.

2Make sure that the networking software is loading properly. Verify that the following lines appear in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and at least one of the two lines do not have the word “REM” in front of it as appropriate:

CALL C:\NET\NET.BAT

LH C:\NET\TCPIP.EXE

See Appendix B for information about the command lines that should appear in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

3Make sure that you properly configured the networking software. See Configuring the Ethernet Interface on page 3-11 of this manual for a list of the drivers that configure your Ethernet interface.

Accessing the PowerStation Utilities

The PA PowerStation is shipped with the PA PowerStation Documentation and Utilities CD. This CD contains all of the dimensional drawings, software, and drivers needed for the PA PowerStation.

If any of the software on your system becomes lost or corrupted, you can reinstall it from this distribution disk.

Ordering Replacement Components

The PA PowerStation is designed to be a simple yet reliable unit to maintain. However, if you need to purchase replacement components for the PowerStation, Parker carries a line of replacement components.
