Was The Installation Successful - Black Box 16-Port Rackmount 10/100 Installation Manual

See Appendix 12, Pinouts, for information about what kinds of device attachments
the Terminal Server supports.
3
Connect an Ethernet cable to either the 10/100BASE-T port (shown) or a
transceiver connected to the AUI port.
The Terminal Server will boot without a valid Ethernet connection, but it will pause
to print a message asking if you want to stop at the Boot> prompt. If you do not re-
spond to this message, it will wait for 10 seconds and then finish booting.
4 If desired, connect a terminal to the Terminal Server console port (port 1). This will
enable you to receive diagnostic and initial configuration messages.
The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bit characters, and no
Note:
parity.
5 Attach one end of the power cable to the Terminal Server and plug the other end into
an electrical outlet.
6
Flip the power switch to the ON position. The Terminal Server will go through two
steps to begin normal operation:
A It runs through a set of power-up diagnostics for approximately 12 seconds. The
LEDs show varying patterns corresponding to the tests being run.
B It tries to obtain TCP/IP configuration information via DHCP, BOOTP, and
RARP. This may take as long as 15 seconds if no hosts answer the requests.
During this step, the OK LED blinks approximately 3 times per second and the
NET LED blinks occasionally.
7 Install EZWebCon on your 32-bit Windows PC, Apple Macintosh, or Solaris com-
puter. The EZWebCon software is located on the distribution CD-ROM.

2.3 Was the Installation Successful?

If the Terminal Server appears to be working and the unit is connected to the network, there
are a couple of ways to confirm that the unit is visible to network hosts:
If the Terminal Server has an IP address, ping it from a TCP/IP host.
If the Terminal Server has an IP address, use EZWebCon to log into it.
If the Terminal Server does not have an IP address, assign one by following the in-
structions in Section 5.1 on page 20.
When you are satisfied that the Terminal Server is working properly, proceed to Chapter 3,
Getting Started. If the Terminal Server does not boot properly, see Appendix 11,
Troubleshooting.
