4. Press <Alt> T to change or check terminal emulation mode. Next select
(highlight) “ANSI”. Press <Enter> to return to display window.
B. Initializing the 7170 IP-Link Transceiver:
Once your terminal program is ready (see previous pages), the 7705i MultiNet Receiver
is on-line and your 7170 IP-Link Transceiver is installed and wired, you are ready to
power up the 7170 IP-Link Transceiver and begin the configuration.
1. Confirm that an RS 232 Cable is connected between the serial input of the 7170
“Console” and the COM port of your PC running a terminal program.
2. Confirm that the RJ45 Ethernet Cable is connected between your LAN or WAN
Network and the Ethernet jack on the IP-Link Transceiver.
3. Confirm that the Phone line is connected to the Phone Line jack on the 7170.
4. Connect the Battery in the IP-Link Transceiver.
5. Energize AC Power connected to the IP-Link Transceiver at J2.
6. Once powered up, startup messages should be displayed on your terminal
program screen.
During the startup process and when prompted with:
“Note: For Initial Config Type X then” and before the prompt:
“Type Setup Key…”, press the "X" key to Halt the startup process and access the
Terminal prompt. If the 7170 is already powered, press the Reset button on IP-
Link Interface board (Middle board) to initialize, then press "X" to get to terminal
prompt.
See Example 1: Startup Messages.
Another option available during startup, shortly after the prompt
“Note: For Initial Config Type X then” and following the prompt
“Type Setup Key…” is to press the “S” key. This will access the Setup Menu,
which will be discussed later in section C.3. An option within the Setup Menu is
to reset the IP-Link, which has up to a 70 second delay.
X = Halt, go to terminal prompt
S = Setup Menu
<No key> = Proceed with Normal Operation
Notes on the Shared Serial Port:
As noted elsewhere in this manual, the Console Port and the Modem share a
single Serial interface. The sharing will not begin until the startup process is
allowed to continue beyond the prompt “Type S
etup Key…”. Pressing “X” or
“S” when prompted will interrupt the startup process and the port will be
available for Console use or Setup Menu access respectively. Once past this
point, sharing is occurring. If the Modem LED is on, the serial port is switched to
the modem and any attached terminal program will have no affect. For this
reason, commands sent to the serial port may not get received or cause any
response
If there is no active phone line attached, testing may take an extended period of
time while it tries all possibilities, during which the Console Port will be
unavailable.
