Install the INA Module in a Carrier

Install the module in the MERLIN MAGIX carrier according to the directions found in Chapter 2 of the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System, Installation, SPM, and Maintenance and Troubleshooting Supplement (555-661-140).

Turn on the MERLIN MAGIX system. Ensure that the system LED on the module’s front panel blinks off once every 5 seconds. (See “System LED” on page 3-5.) This behavior indicates that the module is properly operating and that ComOS has fully booted up. It may take up to 2 minutes for the INA module to reach this state after the power is turned on.

Connect Cables

The necessary cables must be connected to the INA module before you can proceed with the rest of the installation and configuration.

Connect a Serial Passthrough Cable

Connect the supplied straight-through RJ-45 cable between the C1 port (Figure 3-1) on the INA module and the administration port (labeled ADMIN) on the MERLIN MAGIX processor module. This cable allows the user to connect to the INA command line interface by dialing in to the internal modem in the MERLIN MAGIX processor module.
