40A in rush • • 47 - 63 Hz 2A fuse 7036-P16 throughput considerations The limits on throughput are a function of the network and the server or server partition to which the 7036-P16 ports are configured. Serial Port Throughput:...

Each 7036-P16 provides 16-Ports of asynchronous EIA-232 connectivity over a 10/100 Ethernet port at speeds up to 128 K bps. Given that any number of 7036-P16 may be attached to a server, a single server, or server partition could in effect have a large number of asynchronous EIA-232 connections.

Documentation CD that was provided with the product. • Configure the 7036-P16 as a device on the host server. This in effect binds the 7036-P16 to the host server. • Configure the 7036-P16 serial ports for use with the Digi RealPort® software.

If the RealPort® Package installed correctly the following is displayed: dgr-1.9.1 . Once this step is done successfully, the RealPort® installation on SuSE is complete. 16. After the RealPort® software is successfully installed, the user should configure the IP address, go to 7036-P16 IP address, 7036-P16 Network Configuration.

-c 1 [IP address of target 7036-P16] If the 7036-P16 responds to the ping, then it is on the network and the user may proceed to 2. If the 7036-P16 does not respond to the ping, then the 7036-P16 is not on the network and the user must go to the 7036-P16 Network Configuration procedure.

1. Ensure the 7036-P16 and the server are on the network. The user should ping the 7036-P16 by typing the following command: ping -c 1 [IP address of target 7036-P16]. If the 7036-P16 responds to the ping, then it is on the network, go to 2.

-c 1 [IP address of target 7036-P16]. If the 7036-P16 responds to the ping, then it is on the network and the user may proceed to 2. If the 7036-P16 does not respond to the ping, then the 7036-P16 is not on the network and the user must go to the 7036-P16 IP address Configuration Procedure to perform the network configuration procedure.

Support Site. 11. If the latest firmware version is not the same as what was found in step 2, then the firmware on the target 7036-P16 is not current and it needs to be updated. Download a copy of the latest firmware to a directory on the host server and make a note of the directory and the file name.

For example: /tmp/82000684_L.bin 11. If the POST version is not the same as what was found in step 3, then the POST on the target 7036-P16 is not current and it needs to be updated. Download a copy of the POST to a directory on the host server and make a note of the directory and the file name.
