Installation Guide
Connect to the Stack
The R502-M management card supports two 10Base-T
Ethernet connections. When connecting to the network, use a
standard Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cable.
Master Chassis • Connect port 1 of the master R502-M to your network. For
proper operation, the port is preset to half duplex and
should not be changed.
• Connect port 2 on the master R502-M to a Metrobility
chassis stacking line card or to a hub or switch that is NOT
on your network. Port 2 is preset to half duplex and should
not be changed.
• Using the supplied null-modem console cable, connect the
male DB-9 port on the master R502-M to the serial port on
your PC.
Slave Chassis
• For each slave chassis you want to include in the stack,
connect the Ethernet port on its management card to the
same chassis stacking card, hub, or switch to which you
connected the master R502-M. This provides the communi-
cation path between the master R502-M and the network
stack.
When using an R502-M in the slave position, use Port 1 to
make the Ethernet connection to the stack, and disable Port 2
via the boot configuration menu.
Boot Up for SNMP Management
Management of the Metrobility chassis can be provided
through our NetBeacon or WebBeacon software, or any
SNMP network management application, via a PC. SNMP is
supported on many general network platforms: SunNet
