You can connect your Ethernet switch to your LAN through a port on the
Ethernet switch.
If you have multiple LANshare workgroups and would like to cascade the
switches to have a single Ethernet connection, contact your local Information
Services department.
To connect a single Ethernet switch to the site network:
1. Attach an Ethernet cable to a port on the Ethernet switch.
2. Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to a suitable LAN jack.
You can now turn on power to your LANserver EX3 hardware. When you turn
on the power, it is order-dependent so the LANserver EX3 will see all of its
connected components.
To turn on the power for each component:
1. The Ethernet switch has no Power switch. It turns on when you plug the
power cord into a power outlet.
2. Turn on the Power switch for the monitor.
If the door on the LANserver EX3 is locked, locate one of the keys (supplied in
the LANserver EX3 kit) to unlock the front door.
3. Make sure the Power switch on each of the power supply modules is in the
on (|) position.
4. Open the front door on the LANserver EX3 and push the Power switch. It
is a black push-button switch at the top center of the LANserver EX3.
Watch the monitor. You should see the LANserver EX3 boot sequence
begin. Wait for the Windows operating system to load before you attempt
to use the LANserver EX3.
It takes approximately 3 minutes for the boot sequence to complete and
another minute for the Windows operating system to load.
