JDS Uniphase WEB XPANDER RS-232 - Manual (Page 4)

Mounting to STARGATE-Lite (no Telephone/Voice Board)
3b. Using the supplied two standoffs that have screw holes on both sides, and two of the
supplied screws, attach the standoffs to the STARGATE main circuit board in the two
holes just behind the row of serial ports as shown in the photo.
4. Place the Web Xpander on top of the standoffs with the network and serial jacks
facing the same direction as the STARGATE jacks and attach with two screws as
shown in the photo.
5. Connect the supplied red and black pair of wires from the “Aux 12V” terminals to the
corresponding terminals on the Web Xpander board. Use the red wire for +12 and the
black wire for ground.
6. Remove the data cable from the STARGATE jack labeled COM1 (the other end is
connected to your PC/WinEVM) and plug this end into the jack on the Web Xpander
labeled “PC”.
7. Plug one end of the short black data cable into the STARGATE jack labeled COM1
8. Plug the other end of the short black data cable into the black telephone type jack on
the Web Xpander labeled “Controller”.
8. If you are using a 12V backup battery, re-connect the battery to the STARGATE
9. Plug the STARGATE power transformer into an AC outlet
Network Connection
The Web Xpander can be connected to a network in many ways. The most common
methods are:
•
Direct connection to a single PC using a cross-over cable
•
Connection to a network hub which is connected to one or more PCs
•
Connection to a Cable/DSL Router which provides internet access to both the Web
Xpander and PCs on the local network (Ideal Configuration).
1. Direct Connection to a Single PC
This method is applicable in situations where you simply want to communicate with the
Web Xpander from a web browser on a local PC. To connect to the Web Xpander in this
manner you will need a crossover network cable. This cable is very similar in function
to a null-modem cable used when connecting two PCs together using their serial ports. A
standard ethernet network cable is wired differently and will not work in this
configuration.
2. Connection to a Network Hub
This method is common in both large and small networked environments. Connect the
Web Xpander to the hub using a standard RJ-45 network cable. Connect any other
computers to the hub, also using standard network cables. The Web Xpander will be
accessible (once configured) by other computers connected via the hub.
