HARDWARE INSTALLATION

To successfully install the 7890MG, you will require the following:
1. Unused IP address on the network (for the 1RU MG Product).
2. Evertz serial cable (for firmware upgrades without VistaLINK)
3. VistaLINK PRO Server and Client or VLPro-Configuration
®
Before handling the modules it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is
therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn.
For the 3RU Rear Plate:
Locate on the chassis 3 adjacent vacant slots. Unpack the 7890MG and separate the rear panel from
the main card. Locate on the rear of the rack the three slots and remove the blank panels. Insert the
rear panel into the back of the chassis and secure using the screws provided.
Before inserting the card, connect the serial cable to the board using the serial cable provided. Now
insert the 7890MG card into the corresponding front slots ensuring the card lines up with the slot
runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card firmly into the slot ensuring that when
it mates with the rear card it has been firmly pushed into a seated position. Do not connect any cables
to the rear card (failure to do this could cause unwanted network issues) until the initial configuration
has been completed.
Connect the 9-pin D-type end of the serial cable to the serial port of your computer.
Open Tera Term (if using Windows XP or older operating systems, open Hyper Terminal) to make the
required changes to the IP address on the card. Use username customer and password customer to
login.
