Ethernet cable not included

The PortServer TS 8/16 MEI settings are configured

through the software. Complete the Quick Start Guide

and go to the User's Guide for the procedure to

configure the MEI ports. The ports are set to EIA-232

by default. If your device is not EIA-232, configure the

MEI settings immediately after completing the Quick

Start. The default settings will not harm your device,

however, we recommend configuring the MEI

settings immediately as a precaution.

In EIA-232 mode, If switch 3 is down,

9V power is provided on pin 9 (DTR).

If switch 3 is up, power on pin 9 is disabled

and 5V power can be enabled on pin 1 (RI)

through the software interface.

Accessing the CD from a UNIX System

Software &

Documentation

Insert CD in system CD drive

Mount the CD by entering one of the commands from

the following table:

Determine your CD device

Common names for CD-ROM devices:

NAME EXAMPLE

/dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom

/dev/cdrom/cdromn /dev/cdrom/cdrom1

/dev/cdn /dev/cd0

/dev/dsk/cktmdn /dev/c1t2d0

If your system auto mounts the CD, skip to step 5.

Auto Mount programs may use the volume information

to define a mount point. If the CD volume label is "Digi"

then the mount point may be /cdrom/digi

See man pages for pfs and pfs_mount for more

information.

mount -r -F cdfs device mount-directory

mount -r -f ISO9660 device mount-directory

mount -F hsfs device mount-directory

Most systems use an auto-mounter. See the man page

on vold: man vold

UNIX

To list descriptions of devices:

AIX: lscfg

HPUX: - Make sure you have administrator privileges and

your PATH includes /usr/sbin

ioscan -funC disk

Solaris: Most Solaris systems use an auto-mounter.

See the man page on vold: man vold

If you see DISPLAY permission errors when running the

CD, you may want to verify your DISPLAY variable is set.

To set the DISPLAY variable:

DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY

AND/OR

xhost +localhost

Identify the mount-directory.

Some common pre-existing mount points:

/mnt/cdrom /cdrom

Or create your own:

mkdir /mnt/mycdrom

HPUX - Check to see if pfs is running

ps -ef | grep pfs

If not, start the daemons:

pfs_mountd&; pfsd&

*HPUX When finished, leave the CD directory and pfs_umount

cd

pfs_umount mount-directory

(If you inadvertenly use umount instead of pfs_umount, kill the

pfs daemons to remove the CD-ROM.)

All RJ-45 cables and connectors are 8-pin. When using these adapters with modems or other applications that require

DCD on pin 1, you must turn on altpin. If altpin is turned off, the hardware signal on pin 1 becomes DSR instead of

DCD. This alternative can be used if DCD is not required, and DSR is needed instead. Configure the altpin through

the web interface or the command line. See the User's Guide, MEI chapter or the set flow command in the Command

Reference on the Digi CD under Documentation for more information about setting the altpin.

Cabling your serial devices to a

Digi Product is now simpler than ever

with a Digi Cable Adapter. While many

custom cabling solutions can leave you

with a cable that is either too long or too

short for your application, the

Digi Cable Adapters are used with

commercially available CAT 5 cable of

any length. Simply plug standard CAT 5

cable into your Digi Product, connect a

Cable Adapter to the other end and plug

the adapter into your device. Whether

you need a crossover or straight-through

connection, or require a DB-9 or

DB-25 connector, there is a

Digi Cable Adapter solution.

For additional cabling information, see the

Cabling guide under Documentation on

your CD. If you prefer to order cables,

see our website at http://support.digi.com

and select Cabling.
