2 Inspect the module for shipping damage.
If you find any damage, contact the shipping company to file a report. If the module
must be returned to your network supplier, ship it in its original shipping carton. If the
original carton was damaged in shipment, repack the module in a carton that provides
equivalent protection.
3 Verify that the shipping carton contains the following items:
HSS RS-232 3-Port DTE/DCE module
HSS RS-232 3-Port cable
This guide
You can order an adapter kit (3C6044) that contains DTE-to-DCE adapters to connect
the module to a DTE device, such as a mainframe or a cluster controller. The adapter
kit contains three DTE-to-DCE adapters and a release note that shows the adapter
pin-outs.
If an item is missing from an undamaged carton, contact your network supplier.
4 Write down the serial number and the three MAC addresses from the label on the
component side of the module on the following line. You will need this information if
you have to contact your network supplier.
MAC addresses label
Serial number example: S/N:1DN12345
MAC addresses example: 0800021A4B5C, 0800021A4B5D, 0800021A4B5E
The MAC addresses are also encoded in the module EEPROM. Use the procedure in the
NETBuilder II Base System Installation Guide to display the MAC addresses encoded in
the EEPROM.
Verify that you have NETBuilder software version 7.2 or later and CEC firmware version
2.1 or later.
If you want to change a module port setting from DTE to DCE so that you can connect
to a DTE device, you must be running NETBuilder software version 9.1 or later.
