Connecting directly to the G700 serial port
A direct serial connection to the G700 Media Gateway is typically used for initial configuration.
To connect a laptop directly to the serial port on the G700 Media Gateway:
1 . For a stacked configuration: locate the device that contains the master controller for the stack.
Check the LED panel on the upper left of each G700 or P330 device in the stack as follows:
- G700 Media Gateway: a lit MSTR LED indicates that this unit is the stack master.
- P330 device: a lit SYS LED indicates that this unit is the stack master.
2 . Use the RS-232 serial cable and DB-9 adapter cable provided with the G700 Media Gateway.
3 . Attach one end of the RS-232 cable to the RJ-45 jack on the front of the unit that is the stack
master. The serial port is on the lower right side of the chassis.
- On a G700, this serial port is labeled Console.
- The name of the serial port varies on P330 devices, but it is located on the lower right.
4 . Plug the other end of the RS-232 cable into the RJ-45 jack on the DB-9 adapter cable.
5 . Connect the other end of the DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on your laptop.
6 . Use a serial-connection program such as HyperTerminal to access the P330 stack processor. See
Serial connection login procedure.
Connecting a modem to a USB port
An optional external modem may be connected to the S8300 Media Server through a universal serial bus
(USB) connection, providing dial-up access. The modem requires an analog line to the remote location.
To connect an external modem to a USB port on the S8300 Media Server:
1 . Obtain an external modem and its required USB cabling.
2 . Connect one end of the modem’s USB cable to an available USB port on the S8300 Media
Server’s faceplate. Either USB1 or USB2 can be used.
3 . Connect the other end of the cable to the external modem.
4 . Connect the modem to an analog line.
5 . Power up the modem and verify operation as instructed by the modem’s documentation.
