2.2 Switching on
the Terminal
Server
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to configure the
Terminal Server. You can also reference the Terminal Server
Quick Start Guide .
First connect the Terminal Server to a network then begin
configuring the unit for your application. Additional
information on configuring modems and printers follows.
The Desktop and Rack Terminal Servers connect to your
Ethernet network via one of the three auto sensing ports:
10BASE-T (twisted pair), 10BASE2 (thin) or AUI. The 102/
104 Terminal Server has 10BASE-T only. The Desktop and
Rack version default is 10BASE2.
Attach the RJ connector from a hub directly to the Terminal
Server's twisted pair port.
Attach a BNC T connector directly to the Terminal Server. If
your Terminal Server is the termination point for the cable
you need to add a terminator. Always ensure that each
segment of the thin Ethernet cable is at least 0.5m in length.
The maximum length for a thin Ethernet cable is 185 metres.
The AUI connector allows an external transceiver to be
connected. This allows a number of different interfaces to
connect including 10BASE5 (or thick) and fibre optic transceivers.
The Terminal Server power supply accepts input voltages in
the range 110 to 240V AC, allowing it to be used world-wide.
The102/104 server has an external power supply unit.
After you connect your LAN interface, you can power up the
unit. The green power indicator at the side (or front for Rack
and 102/104 units) should be lit. If the unit fails to power up
with the green power indicator lit, disconnect the unit and
contact Black Box.
