If the customer has decided to use a single or several PCs to control an ES47
cabinet that has 4 separate 2P systems, each system must have its own NAT
box connecting to the MBM in each drawer. A single HUB is connected to the
WAN side of each NAT box and a PC running AMU or telnet sessions act as the
console.
Making the hardware connection:
In this case, each 2P drawer has its own NAT box. You can have 4 separate
PCs, each connected to the WAN side of each NAT box, or have 1 PC
connected to a HUB similar to a multi-server LAN to which each NAT box is
connected. This procedure assumes the latter configuration.
1. Set up the NAT box between the internal LAN and the multi-server like
LAN. When doing this, make sure that each NAT box has its own unique
address. Suggested are: 90.0.100.1 for the first; 90.0.100.3 for the
second; 90.0.100.5 for the third; and 90.0.100.7 for the fourth.
2. Use a BX25G-xx cable to connect the NAT box’s WAN connection to the
multi-server like LAN HUB.
3. Connect an ethernet card in the PC to the multi-server like LAN HUB
again using a BX25G-xx cable. You may as well give the PC an address
of 90.0.0.102 as you would an AMS.
4. Start telnet sessions on your PC to address <nat box address>:23 (23 is
the PMUs port address). By setting up 4 sessions each pointing to a
different NAT box you’ll have control of each 2P system
5. The MBM> prompt should appear on your PC
Refer to the AMS 1.1.0 CD for instructions on installing and using the
AlphaServer Management Utility (AMU) from a PC running windows.
