MRV Communications LX-4000 Series manual Modem Port Optional, Powering On

Installing the LX-4000 Series

The DC leads should be 22 AWG or larger. They should be terminated with a #5 ring terminal or larger depending on the wire size used.

NOTE: The LX-4000 will run with only one DC power feed connected. The second input is provided for redundant system power, which is used in high reliability installations.

6.Attach the clear plastic safety guard to the terminal blocks. (The clear plastic safety guard is pro- vided with the LX-4000 kit.)

Modem Port (Optional)

The modem port is a V.90/K56flex Kbps optional factory installed modem on the LX-4000 Series. The modem port allows you to dial back from, or dial in to or out of the LX-4000. If the modem is present, connect your phone line to the modem’s RJ11 connector. If the modem is not installed, the RJ11 connector will not be present on the rear of the unit. In LX-4048 models, the modem port is on the front of the unit.

The Modem port number is as follows for LX-4000 models:

•LX-4008 - port number 9

•LX-4016 - port number 17

•LX-4032 - port number 33

•LX-4048 - port number 49

At the InReach:0>> prompt, enter the show port async 33 modem command to display a screen containing the LX-4032 modem port fields.

Powering On

The Power On Self Test (POST) starts when you apply power to the LX-4000 Series unit. The port status LEDs flicker and the FLT LED remains on while the test is running (this may take only a few seconds). If the unit passes the POST test, the FLT LED extinguishes, and the OK LED turns green. If there is a failure, the FLT LED stays on, and the port status LEDs begin flashing an error code. Refer to Appendix C for an explanation of the codes.

When the POST test is completed, you are presented with two options: [B] Boot System and [L] Login to System Setup. If you choose neither, the unit boots on its own after eight seconds. If you type L, a password prompt appears. The default password is access. The Main Menu appears after you enter the password. The Main Menu allows you to change the boot settings and IP address assignments. You can review the factory default boot setting by referring to the “ppciboot Factory Default Settings” on page 50. The system loads the LX-Series software from flash and then loads the system configuration file.

If the LX boots with default operational parameters, the Quick Configuration menu appears. Refer to the “System Maintenance” chapter in the LX-Series Configuration Guide for further information on the Main menu. Refer to “First Time Quick Configuration” on page 25 for further details on the Quick Configuration menu.
