Adding Terminal Server Ports
6-9
The following sections contain a configuration example for the Equinox Terminal Server.
However, following the guidelines described in this section should enable configuring every
Terminal Server.
Wiring
The 8-pin connector used by the Terminal Server contains all necessary RS232 signals, but in
a non standard format, Each user might output them in different pins. In most cases there is a
need for an adapter, so that signals coming from the Terminal Server will be in the pins they
are expected to be in.
The wiring description for the Equinox Terminal Server is described below.
Example: EQUINOX ELS16 Terminal Server Wiring and Configuration
General
The EQUINOX ELS16 is a 16 port Terminal Server.
1. Plug the machine to a 220v AC. The machine will perform a Self Boot Process, which
takes about 15 seconds. While booting up, the LEDs in the front panel will blink. When
Self Boot Process finishes, the READY led should be the only one lit.
The default console port is 1.
2. Attach a terminal (or a terminal emulator) to port 1, with a cable wired as described in the
next section. The terminal should be configured as follows:
Input = 9600bps
Output = 9600bps
Stop Bits = 1
Character Size = 8
Parity = NONE
Wiring
Wiring PC to Terminal Server
For a PC HyperTerminal connection, use the Standard Connector and cable to connect the PC
‘COM1’ to the Serial port of the Terminal Server. No other adapters are needed.
Wiring a MOSCAD to EQUINOX ELS-16 Using a Cable
The pins in the ELS16 ports are numbered from the right to the left. The rightmost pin is the
first one, and the left most is the eighth.)
The numbering of the 8 pin connectors follows the MOSCAD convention.
