1.1 Hardware Installation
1.The MAC address is printed on a label afxed to the back of the unit above the LAN connector socket (see Figure 2). This address will be used as a Unit ID to distinguish different ESP units on the network.
Record the MAC address.
00 - 80 - 7D - _____ - _____ - _____
2.Attach a 10BaseT or 100BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on the back of the ESP. A CAT 5 cable is required for 100BaseT operation.
3.Power on the ESP by connecting the power cable to a power source.
WARNING: The power outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
4.Install the ESP driver using the instructions in Section 2 for your target operating system.
5.Install or upgrade to EquiView Plus version 5.1 or higher from the Equinox SuperSerial Software CD. EquiView Plus will help manage ESP units on various networks.
If the ESP fails to boot ...
The ESP is very robust and there are few errors that can prevent the unit from correctly initializing and going online. However, if an error does occur, the ONLINE LED will blink a repeating pattern with discernible pauses. Count the number of blinks between pauses and make a note of this value. When you contact Technical Support, this information will help determine the cause of the initialization failure.
