SecureLinx Spider/SpiderDuo User Guide 34

 Optional Auxiliary DC Power Supply (Redundancy)—Overcomes the loss of power when the

attached server goes down by using the auxiliary DC power supply connected to an

independent AC power source.

 Ethernet Ports—Connects to the LAN. The SpiderDuo has one port only that connects to the

LAN.

 Local KVM Port—Connects keyboard, video, and mouse to the local client.

Perform the following steps to install the SpiderDuo and configure the initial network settings.

1. Plug the RJ45 cable into the SpiderDuo serial port.

2. Plug the DB9F end of the RJ45 cable into the COM port of a PC/laptop running a terminal

emulator, for example HyperTerminal. The default serial port settings are: 9600 bits per

second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

3. Plug the power adaptor into the SpiderDuo power connector.

4. Plug the SpiderDuo video, USB, and PS/2 keyboard and mouse (if applicable) cables into the

target computer. The blue LED SysOK lluminates and flashes to indicate that the SpiderDuo is

booting up. Bootup completes within approximately one minute. The SysOK LED stops

flashing and remains illuminated. Connections for video, USB, and keyboard/mouse are

integrated into the SpiderDuo.
