Connecting the AdminManager PC to the Main Hub
Considerations:
• The AdminManager software, described in the AdminManager User Manual
(PN 8810-10), must be running on a PC/laptop that is connected to the Main Hub’s
front panel
RS-232 port.
• Null modem cable with female connectors is needed.
To connect the PC/laptop, start AdminManager, and power on the Main Hub:
1. Connect the null modem cable to the PC/laptop and then to the RS-232 port on the
Main Hub’s front panel.
2. Turn on the PC and start AdminManager.
The AdminManager main window is displayed with the Installation Wizard
option selected.
3. Connect the AC power cord to the Main Hub.
4. Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet.
5. Turn on the power to the Main Hub.
Upon initial power-up, the Main Hub LEDs should blink continuously to indicate
that there is no frequency band programmed into the Main Hub.
On subsequent power ups, after a band is programmed, the LEDs will blink for
five seconds as a visual check that they are functioning.
NOTE: Leave the dust caps on the fiber ports until you are ready to connect the fiber
optic cables.
