the unit. Alternate power cords are available for all national connector standards. The standard AC power module has dual inputs.

The DC power module operates on –48 VDC, with 1.5 A maximum operating current, and 5 A maximum surge current. DC power must be externally protected against over- current. Each DC power module features dual power inputs.

See Appendix D for further specifications and instructions regarding DC power requirements and installation.

4.5Connecting to the Sys Admin Port

The cable kit P/N 200.0135 contains the necessary adapters to interface the system administrator port on the control card to a laptop or a terminal. The control card can be removed from the system without turning off power if it is necessary to change the factory default settings of this port (however, the system will reboot once the control card is re-inserted). Using the adapters in the kit, follow the steps outlined below, and interface to the 'port A' on the control card to a laptop or terminal.

The factory default communications settings for the system administrator port are 9600 baud, one stop bit, no parity, eight data bits, and DCE (9600 8N1 DCE). The settings can be changed using the DIP switches shown in Figure 2.

NOTE: The administration functions may also be reached via telnet. However, it is first necessary to configure the network card through the direct serial connection.

1.Turn on power to the terminal or computer. If using a computer, start the desired communication program. The terminal or communications program used must be in VT100 emulation mode. Note that the VT100 functions keys are not always mapped to the terminal or computer function keys; consult the appropriate documentation for further information.

2.Ensure that the communications settings are correct. The factory defaults for the control card, which may only be changed by a hardware DIP switch, are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity (9600 8N1). If in doubt as to the current communication settings on the control card, check the DIP switches and refer to Figure 2, Control Card Layout with DIP Switch Settings.

3.Locate the serial port on the terminal or computer and determine what type of connector is used. The cable kit included with the ConsoleServer 3200 contains each of the following: one RJ45 serial cable, an RJ45 to male DB9 adapter, an RJ45 to female DB9 adapter, an RJ45 to male DB25 adapter, and an RJ45 to female DB25 adapter. Select the appropriate adapter for the serial port on the terminal or computer.
