SkyGateway/SkyExtender/Installation And Configuration Guide
3-2 September 2004
Connecting Via a Serial Link
SkyGateway signals its presence through the use of a periodic beacon
message transmitted on the configured frequency. When a SkyExtender or
SkyConnector is installed, it listens for this network beacon message. When
a beacon is received, the SkyGateway responds and attempts to
establishment a link. In the event you need to troubleshoot the SkyGateway
from the console, perform the following steps.
1. Connect a DB-9 cable to the Serial Port.
2. Connect to a laptop.
3. Set baud settings at 38,400 and N81and run the terminal emulation
program. The unit will begin to search in a circular pattern for a nearby
SkyExtender or SkyGateway. This can take up to two minutes. Once the
unit has found a nearby SkyExtender or SkyGateway, text will starting
appearing on the screen as it outputs log messages, as shown in Figure
3-1.
