CCM840/1640 Installer/User Guide
Installing the CCM
WARNING: The power outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be
easily accessible.
To install the CCM hardware:
1.
Locate the CCM where you can connect cables between the serial devices
and the CCM serial ports, and where you can connect a LAN interface
cable between the Ethernet hub or switch and the CCM LAN connector.
If you are using a rack mount kit, follow the instructions included with
the kit.
2. Connect serial devices to the CCM serial ports; see Appendix B for
cabling information. Connect each serial device to its appropriate power
source, following the device’s documentation.
3. Attach a 10BaseT or 100BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on
the back of the CCM. A CAT 5 cable is required for 100BaseT operation.
4. Insert the power cord into the back of the CCM. Insert the other end of the
power cord into a grounded electrical receptacle.
5. Check that the POWER LED on the front of the CCM is illuminated. If not,
check the power cable to ensure that it is inserted snugly into the back of
the unit. The ONLINE LED will illuminate within one minute to indicate
that the unit self-test is complete. If the ONLINE LED blinks, contact
Equinox Technical Support for assistance.
6. Check that the LINK LED is illuminated. If not, check the Ethernet cable
to ensure that both ends are correctly inserted into their jacks. If the unit is
connected to a 100 MB Ethernet hub, the 100MBps LED will be illuminated.
7. Once
the
POWER, ONLINE and LINK LEDs are illuminated, remove
power from the CCM and proceed with the confi guration process.
WARNING: The CCM840/1640 and all attached devices should be powered down before
servicing the unit. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
Configuring the CCM
To configure the CCM840/1640, you must enter a unique IP address and
the network’s subnet mask. This information will be stored in the unit’s
configuration database. During initial login, you will specify a password for the
Admin user.
