Installation & Setup

Service Switch (SVC)

Service switch (SVC) must be set to the right for normal operation

FIG. 27 Octaire Service switch

The Service switch (directly below the Ethernet Speed indicator LED) can be used to override system security if the username and password are lost. The Service switch can also be used to upgrade the APWeb firmware. Do not attempt to upgrade the firmware unless directed to do so by technical support. For normal operations, the Service switch must be flipped to the right. For more information on the Service switch, see page 81 in the “APWeb” chapter.

Caution: For security purposes, firmware upgrades cannot be performed remotely.

APWeb System Setup

The system setup example in FIG. 28 illustrates an Octaire Distribution Matrix connected to a LAN. Both computers in the illustration have access to the Octaire. If only one computer will be used, the Octaire’s APWeb (TCP/IP) port can be connected directly to the computer’s network card.

Cable Requirements

Computer Connection (NIC Card) – A crossover (RJ-45) cable is required to connect the Octaire enclosure directly to a network card in a computer. The cable must be wired to TIA / EIA specification TIA / EIA-568-B on one end and TIA / EIA-568-A on the other end.

LAN Connection – A straight-through (RJ-45) cable is required to connect the Octaire enclosure to a LAN. The cable must be wired to TIA / EIA specification TIA / EIA-568-A.
