A typical installation will provide serial cabling for up to 16 attached serial
devices. Locate the CPS so that you can connect cables between the serial
devices and the CPS serial ports. Refer to Appendix B: Device Cabling for
information on CPS serial port pinouts.
The CPS also requires connection to your network. Locate the CPS where
you can readily connect a LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on the
rear of the CPS.
1. Attach a 10BaseT or 100BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on
the back of the CPS. The CPS requires a CAT 5 cable for 100BaseT operation.
2. Insert the power cord into the rear of the CPS. Insert the other end of the
power cord into a grounded electrical receptacle.
3. Check that the PWR LED is illuminated. If not, check the power cable to
ensure that it is inserted snugly into the rear of the CPS.
The ONLINE LED will illuminate within one minute to indicate that the
CPS self-test is completed. If the ONLINE LED blinks, contact Avocent
Technical Support for assistance.
4. Check to see that the LINK LED is also illuminated. If not, check the
CAT 5 Ethernet cable to be sure that both ends are correctly inserted into
their jacks. If the CPS is not correctly connected to an Ethernet hub or
switch, it will not be possible to configure the CPS for operation. If the
CPS is connected to a 100MB Ethernet hub, then the 100Mbps LED will
also be illuminated.
Once the PWR, ONLINE, and LINK LEDs are illuminated, remove power from
the CPS and proceed to the next section, Configuring the CPS.
Warning: The CPS and all attached devices should be powered-down before servicing
the unit. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
