The RPC-3 and RPC-3A have an Ethernet port for connecting to a

network. REMEMBER, in order for a network connection to be

established, at a minimum, you must configure the IP address, subnet

mask, and if applicable, gateway. Network configurations can be

configured through the Ethernet port or locally through the serial

port.

Once you have configured the IP address, subnet mask, and if applicable,

gateway through the serial port, a network connection can be established

via a Telnet session from your workstation.

Using a straight 10Base-T cable, connect the Ethernet portion the RPC-3

or RPC-3A to the network hub.

Is the green LINK LED is illuminated? If it is not, you are not “linked” to

the network. Check the 10Base-T cable connection to your network.

Also, verify status of the CX LED. It should not be flashing. If the CX

LED is flashing, note the number of times it flashes in a cycle. To

determine what the CX LED is indicating; refer to Appendix C

“DIAGNOSTIC LED INDICATIONS.” If the LED indications are

correct, the RPC can be accessed through a Telnet session. Establish the

Telnet client session and login from you workstation.

5.3.3 COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE

Load serial port communications software. Configure host terminal’s

serial communications parameters to match the RPC. RPC factory serial

communications parameters are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no

parity. NOTE: These parameters are not user selectable.
