Cyclades-TS Installation & Service Manual
Information applicable only to the Cyclades-TS100
Since there are two physical interfaces available in the Cyclades-TS100, RS-232 and RS-485, this model
requires the configuration of the parameter described in the Figure 6.14.
Parameter Description
all.media
or*
s1.media
For the TS100 only.
rs232
(RS-232 interface and DB-9 connector),
rs485_half_terminator
(RS-485 interface, half duplex communication with two wires, DB-9 or block connector, the
TS100 terminates the network),
rs422
(RS-485 interface, full duplex communication with
four wires, DB-9 or block connector, the TS100 terminates the network) or
rs485_half
(RS-
485 interface, half duplex communication with two wires, DB-9 or block connector, the
TS100 in the middle of the network).
*NOTE:
all.* parameters are used to set default parameters for all ports and s#.* parameters change the
default parameters for individual ports. As the TS100 has only one port, either s1.* or all.* can be used,
interchangeably.

The next step is to update the system with the modified data in the files above. Make sure the file named /etc/
config_files contains the names of all files that should be saved to flash.
Configuring the Cyclades-TS100 for the first time
The Cyclades-TS100 does not have a dedicated console port. After configuring the serial port, edit the file /etc/
inittab and comment the line that designates the console port (add a “#” to the beginning of the line):
# ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -p ttyS0 ansi
Next, the command saveconf, which reads the /etc/config_files file, should be run. The command saveconf
copies all the files listed in the file /etc/config_files from the ramdisk to /proc/flash/script. The previous contents of
the file /proc/flash/script will be lost.
