Overview of Installation and Setup Installation and Setup Procedure When a Netlink™ FRX6000 is ordered, the customer and sales representative decide on the required components (cards, cables, etc.). Cards and software are then installed before the node is shipped. This document describes the steps to be taken at the customer site to set up an FRX6000. Set Up the Device 1. Unpack and inspect the equipment. If there is evidence of physical damage, contact the shipper.

Assuming the node will be mounted in a rack, it can be secured to slides, or set on a fixed or slide-out shelf. The node can also be mounted directly to the cabinet frame, but this makes access difficult. Do not support a rack-mounted node only in the front. It must be supported at both front and rear.
DCE cables have female connectors at the user end, and DTE cables have male connectors. PC FRX6000 Configure the Video Device Follow the appropriate procedure to configure the FRX6000 to operate with an attached Auxiliary Console (ASCII terminal) or VGA monitor. A VGA monitor may be necessary even if you are configuring the node to operate with an ASCII terminal. See step 1 under "Auxiliary Console.
VGA Monitor 6. When prompted for a terminal speed, type the line speed (in bits per second) of the attached terminal ( 1200, 2400, or 4800) and press [Enter]. 1. Connect the monitor to the VGA port on the FRX6000 (see Figure 1) and plug the keyboard cable into the keyboard connector. 7. When asked: Are you changing only the Async console or LAN adapter configuration?, press [Y]. 2. Plug the FRX6000 and VGA monitor power cables into the appropriate power source, then switch the monitor on. 8.
Configure the Token Ring Card Node Name= If the node has a Token Ring card, it is configured for a speed of 16 MB/sec and UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable. If you wish to change either setting, follow this procedure: Port Status Display (Page 1) L P Type PPS Conn# State L P Type PPS Conn# State 1. Boot the node with a DOS system disk. 2. At the A:> prompt, insert the SMC SuperDisk, then type ezstart and press [Enter].
4. Display the new boot data, and compare it to the previous data. This will show whether the problem was fixed. Also, a problem that occurred during the previous boot-up will often be cleared up by re-booting. Node Name= Netlink FRXSeries Version "n.n.n.n" MAIN MENU A Configuration Questions?
