Hardware Installation
To install Equalizer, follow these steps:
1. Carefully remove the Equalizer rack-mount enclosure and cables from the shipping container.
Save the original packaging in case you need to ship the Equalizer for any reason, such as
sending it in for warranty service. The Equalizer chassis does not contain any parts that you
can service. If you open the chassis or attempt to make repairs, you may void your
warranty.
2. Place the Equalizer in its intended position in an EIA equipment rack or on a flat surface.
3. Connect a serial terminal or a workstation running terminal emulator software to the serial port on the front
panel of the Equalizer. The serial cable supplied with Equalizer.
4. Connect Equalizer to the network with a quality category 5 network cable:
To use Equalizer as an intermediary between an external and internal network, connect Equalizer to the external
network using one of the RJ-45 ports labeled 1 or 2 on the front panel. Connect Equalizer to the internal network
using one or more of the ports numbered 3 and above.
For a single-network (one subnet) topology, connect Equalizer to the network and the servers using one of the
numbered RJ-45 ports numbered 3 and above on the front panel of the Equalizer .
5. Connect Equalizer to an appropriate power source using the supplied power cord, which plugs into the 3-pin
connector on the rear of the Equalizer enclosure. This system uses an auto-sensing power supply that can
operate at 50Hz or 60Hz, 110-240 VAC input.
6. Turn on the power using the switch on the rear panel. After Equalizer boots up the following link lights
should be visible. Refer to "Interfaces" on page 215 or "Interface Commands" on page 160 for additional
information on the interface lights and settings.
Setting Up a Terminal or Terminal Emulator
After the Equalizer hardware, you need to directly connect a terminal to Equalizer to complete the hardware
configuration.
Serial Connection
When you set up Equalizer for the first time, you must use a serial connection in order to configure Equalizer’s
network with the eqcli interface. Connect the serial port on the Equalizer to the serial port on a terminal, or any
system (such as a Windows or Unix PC) running terminal emulation software.
Configure your terminal or terminal emulator software to use the following settings:
l 9600 baud (GX Series) 38400 (LX Series)
l 8 data bits
46
