Wall-Mount Installation To wall mount the AccessEtherLinX/3, use the supplied screws to attach the wall- mount bracket to the AccessEtherLinX/3, then mount the unit to the wall. Attach the cables between the AccessEtherLinX and each device that will be interconnected,...
Rack-Mount Installation A rack-mount kit can also be ordered, which includes two brackets that screw onto either side of the AccessEtherLinX/4. Once the brackets are attached to the unit, install the AccessEtherLinX/4 into the rack. Features Autocross Feature For Twisted Pair Connection...
In this mode, the twisted pair port negotiates for speed and duplex. Forcing the Speed and Duplex Mode The twisted pair downlink ports on the AccessEtherLinX/4 can also be manually set for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation and for Half- or Full-Duplex (i.e. 10 Mbps Full- Duplex, 10 Mbps Half-Duplex, 100 Mbps Full-Duplex or 100 Mbps Half- Duplex).
Assigning IP Information In order for the AccessEtherLinX to allow for SNMP-management, the unit must be assigned IP configuration information (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, etc.) using iConfig via iView²; the unit’s serial port or DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol).
About Serial Port Configuration Use the supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter on Downlink Port 4 on the AccessEtherLinX/4 or Downlink Port 3 on the AccessEtherLinX/3 to allow for serial port configuration. This adapter uses an IBM-compatible DB-9 serial connector. To connect the AccessEtherLinX to a terminal/computer, use a straight-through (pin- to-pin) cable.

Assigning TCP/IP Information To modify the Saved Parameter Values (i.e., assign IP address and subnet mask), press I. Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the connected device, pressing Enter after each value. A default gateway can also be assigned (press Enter to skip). When finished, press Enter, then type Reboot for the changes to take effect.

LANs (VLANs) allow devices in different LANs to communicate with each other as if they were part of the same LAN. The AccessEtherLinX is VLAN compatible, with the ability to accept traffic containing 802.1q VLAN tags on the Uplink port and direct that traffic to the twisted pair downlink ports or to management based on a VLAN ID.

Note Decide whether the unit will be in dlsecure mode or dl_open mode. Configure as desired and reboot. Use dl_open to configure multiple VLAN IDs on multiple ports. When the VLAN functionality is NOT already enabled, the following screen will display: *** VLAN ID And Port VLAN Membership Configuration Screen *** This device is not currently in VLAN Mode.

TFTP session. Port Configuration The AccessEtherLinX ports can be configured via serial configuration. Type ports and press Enter to be taken to the Port Configuration screen. From this screen, users can enable/disable ports, configure FiberAlert and Auto-Negotiation, etc. (This can also be performed via iView².)
About DHCP The AccessEtherLinX comes with a DHCP client. It is disabled by default. If a DHCP server is present on the network, the DHCP client will initiate a dialogue with the server during the boot up sequence. The server will then issue an IP address, Default Gateway and Subnet mask to the AccessEtherLinX chassis.
