AutoView 1000R/AutoView 2000R Installer/User Guide

To install the AutoView 1000R/2000R hardware:

Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as

HyperTerminal) to the configuration port on the back panel of the

appliance using a RS232 DB9 null modem cable. The terminal should be

set to 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control.

Plug the supplied power cord into the back of the appliance and then into

an appropriate power source.

When you turn on the power, the Power indicator on the front of the unit

will blink for 30 seconds while performing a self-test. Approximately 10

seconds after it stops blinking, press the Enter key to access the main menu.

To configure the AutoView 1000R/2000R hardware:

You will see the Terminal Applications menu with six options. Select

option 1, Network Configuration.

Figure 2.3: Network Configuration Menu

Select option 1 to set your network speed. When possible, you should set

your connection manually without relying on the auto negotiate feature.

Once you enter your selection, you will be returned to the Network

Configuration menu.

Select option 2 and specify if you are using a static or BootP IP address. Use

a static IP address for ease of configuration. If you are using a BootP address,

please configure your BootP server to provide an IP address to the

appliance, skip step 4 and continue to the next procedure.

Select options 3-5 from the Terminal Applications menu, in turn, to finish

configuring your appliance for IP address, Netmask and Default Gateway.

Once this is completed, type a Ø to return to the main menu.
