Installing Connections to the Ethernet Port

You can connect a PC or terminal to the TimeProvider using the LAN connector for
local monitoring or control, or you can connect the TimeProvider to a network for
monitoring and control from a remote site.
Note: The TimeProvider can be controlled through a TCP/IP
network connection, but before you can use it, you must
configure the Ethernet settings using a serial connection. Refer to
Setting Ethernet
Direct Ethernet Connection
You use a direct Ethernet connection when a service technician is on-site. You must
configure the Ethernet settings using TL1 commands over a serial connection
before you can use the Ethernet connection. Use the direct connection to
troubleshoot a LAN connection.
To connect the TimeProvider to a PC or terminal, perform the following steps:
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the LAN connector on the shelf.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the PC or terminal.
3. Start a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal or ProComm Plus.
Configure the program for a telnet session and enter the IP address of the
TimeProvider. Use Port 5000 to connect.
4. Type (semicolon). If the TimeProvider responds with a Deny response, you
;
have established communications. If you do not receive the Deny response,
check the connections, the cable, and the program settings.
