Checking status lights

Observe the activity pattern of the lights at the front of the CellPipe units to verify that they are connected properly.

When all the cables are connected, verify that:

•The pwr light comes on initially and remains on. If not on, make sure the power supply is properly connected.

•The act light blinks during any LAN traffic. Otherwise it remains off.

•The lnk light is on if there is an Ethernet connection established. If not on, check to make sure your Ethernet cable is properly connected.

•The wan light blinks until a connection is established and then it remains on.

•The con light is on only during the unit self-test.

Console setup

You need to set up a serial connection between the unit and your computer to access the command-line interface and configure a CellPipe 20 Series unit.

You need a 9-pin RS-232 serial cable to connect to the CellPipe unit through the console port.

You also need a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, PROCOMM PLUS, Zterm, or any other program that supports VT100 terminal emulation, to open a session directly with the unit.
