Remove the screw on the back and remove the cover. Make sure the daughter card is properly seated. The serial port card has a tendancy to POP OUT in shipping. Replace the cover. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Get a terminal or a PC with term software. Set it to 9600-N-8-1 2. Get a null modem cable. Radio Shack sells them or you can make one with the following minimum pin configuration: DB25-F DB25-F 2 - 3 3 - 2 7 - 7 8 - 20 20 - 8 3. Connect it to port S0. Make sure that DIP SWITCH 1 is up putting the port in CONSOLE mode (9600 bps n-8-1, xon/xoff flow control). 4. The unit should go thru a memory test. After 30 secs you should see a "login:" prompt 5. Login as "!root". Yes that is a "!" in front of "root". There should be no password on a "fresh" one. 6. Type the following commands after you've logged in: set password set address set namesvc dns set nameserver set domain set netmask save all reset all 7. Connect an ethernet cable from your network to the unit. Dip switch 5 and 6 up indicated Twisted Pair, both down for COAX. 8. The unit should be pingable and telnettable now. 9. Get PMCONSOLE/PMVISION from www.livingston.com to further configure. 10. Download the PM2 manuals from Livingston (http://www.livingston.com) or AMS, Inc (http://www.portmasters.com) ============================================================================
