Establishing a Connection

Once your PC is set up, as described in Configuring Your PC, you are
ready to connect to and configure the Advance DataNET Hub.

… read through this Chapter prior to performing any procedures.

The DNH consists of two identical hubs in one enclosure. The left side is
referred to as the DataNET ‘A’ half and the right side the DataNET ‘B’
half. Each half hub contains a communication board and a RS232 Con-
figuration Port. Each hub half is configured separately.

HUB ‘A’

HUB ‘B’

1. Ensure that the DNH Ethernet connection is not connected to the

network by removing the RJ-45 plug from the Ethernet port located
on the edge of the Communications board.

2. Connect a standard 9-pin COM cable from the designated PC COM

port (see page 49, step 7.) to RS232 Configuration Port located on
etiher Hub ‘A’ or ‘B’.

3. Turn on the AC power to the DNH.

All utility programs on the DNH Communication board are password pro-
tected. This insures the data integrity of all configuration data and limits
unwanted access of the User’s network. To access any of the programs
you must have a logon password.
