1 GENERAL INFORMATION The DS73 and the DS73TP peripheral communications module supports remote access to TCP/IP Ethernet networks by using the DS-Series Data Switch with a modem module installed. Remote users can dial into the DS-Series unit and connect to network hosts from anywhere at anytime. Both remote in-band and out-of-band management is available by using one DS-Series data switch. Use the DS73 module for in-band network management. And use the DS74, EIA-232 module for out-of-band management.
3 CABLING CAUTION: Power should be turned off when cables are being installed. 3.1 10BASE2 (COAX) CONNECTION The 10BASE2 port of the DS73 peripheral module connects to any BNC connector on the network cable. BayTech provides a T-connector for this purpose. The DS73TP has a 10BASE-T connector only. Please see the figure below. 3.2 10BASE-T (MODULAR) CONNECTION If your network uses 10BASE-T, RJ-45 connectors, connect an RJ-45 cable between the RJ-45 port and the network hub.
4.1.4 GATEWAY The Gateway is the address of a router for connection to other networks. The Gateway address consists of four bytes with each byte ranging from 0 to 255 decimal. The factory default Gateway address is 0.0.0.0. 4.1.5 PRIMARY DNS The Primary DNS (domain name server) IP address to be provide if the user will be accessing domain name server on the network. 4.1.

Type “1” (Module IP Address), at the end of the main configuration menu and you can program the IP address. The DS73 will respond with: Enter Module IP address in dotted decimal form: Enter the desired Module IP address as a series of four numbers separated by periods (e.g., 197.3.14.9) followed by Carriage Return. NOTE: The first part of the Module IP address is determined by assigned network address.
Enter Primary DNS address in dotted decimal form: Enter the desired Primary DNS address as a series of four numbers separated by periods (e.g., 0.0.0.0.) followed by Carriage Return. 8.6 PASSWORD By responding to the Enter selection: message at the end of the main configuration menu with "5" (Password), you can program the DS73 Password. The password is used for security purposes to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to the DS73 and accessing its functions.
By responding to the Enter Request: message in the DS73 Status & Diagnostics Menu with “X” (Exit), you will exit the DS73 Status & Diagnostics Menu. The DS73 peripheral module will respond with the following: > X 5.1.6 LOGOUT By responding to the Enter Request: message in the DS73 Main Menu with “T” (Logout), you will terminate your TELNET connection. The DS73 peripheral module will respond with a message similar to the following: Device A (2,1).................... Device B (2,2)....................
9 GETTING STARTED Before the DS73 or DS73TP and the DAC can be used, there are a few parameters which must be configured by the user. First time power-up: When the DS73 or DS73TP is first powered up, it will cycle through its diagnostics until it finds that it has not been programmed with an IP address or subnet mask. At this point, it should flash its front panel LEDs 3 & 4. An IP address and subnet mask are minimum requirements for module operation.
11 RETURNS TO THE FACTORY If you find it necessary to return any component of the DS-Seriesunit to the factory for warranty work or factory-set changes, follow the procedure listed under Section 12 for repackaging. Before you ship your unit, please call BayTech to get a Return Authorization number. BayTech cannot accept warranty or no-charge returns without this number. Ship your unit to the address listed in Section 13, - Technical Support.
DS73/DS73TP EPROM UPGRADE You will receive two EPROMs (chips with label A & B) for each module to be upgraded. The materials you will need to supply are: Phillips-head screwdriver IC DIP extractor or a pair of curved needle-nose pliers 1. IMPORTANT: Remove power from the unit by depressing the power switch on the front of the unit to OFF. Also remove power cord from the AC outlet. 2.
