2-6CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED

Connecting Redundant Power System

To install an RPS, proceed as follows:

1Power down by disconnecting the AC power cord on the Switch 2000 TR.

2Connect an RPS cable assembly to the RPS connector on the back panel of the Switch 2000 TR.

3Connect the other end of the RPS cable assembly to the RPS connector on the back panel of the RPS unit.

Connecting to the Serial Port

The Switch 2000 TR serial port settings are set to:

Character size—8

Parity—None

Stop Bit—1

Baud Rate—9600

Terminals connected to the Switch 2000 TR must be configured to these same settings before you can communicate.

Connection to the serial port can be direct for local management or through a modem for remote man- agement.

For more information on the serial port console, refer to “Setting Up the VT100 Console in Chapter 3.

Connecting a VT100 Terminal

To connect a VT100 terminal directly to the serial port on the Switch 2000 TR you need a standard null modem cable. Follow these steps:

1Connect one end of the cable to the serial port on the Switch 2000 TR and the other end to the serial port on the VT100 terminal.

2Ensure that your terminal is configured to the appro- priate settings listed above.
