Data Communications Setup

This chapter provides maintenance personnel instructions for making the
operational settings for the Advance DataNET Hub (DNH). Once these
operational settings are made the DNH will function as a communication
router on an Advance Communication System (ACS) network.
The DNH consists of two identical hubs ('A' Half and 'B' Half) in one en-
closure. Each hub half contains a communication board and RS-232
Configuration port. Both communication boards must be configured in
order for both hubs to communicate on the ACS.
Review Chapter 4, Command Line Summary. Chapter 4 provides defini-
tions for all of the commands you will be using in this chapter.
Perform the following checklist before setting up the data communication
protocol.
Inspect wiring of AC (mains)
Inspect all Uplink and Downlink port wiring connections.
Ensure that the Signal Equalizer Board settings are correct.
Ensure that each DataNET copper port has the correct im-
pedance settings.
Inspect the wiring of the serial crosslink which determines
which is the 'A' Hub.
Ensure that when power is applied the Board Status LEDs
are sequencing correctly.
