The following diagram shows a properly-installed MSS. The numbers in the diagram refer
to the installation steps in this section.

MSS Connected to Serial Device and Ethernet
1
Select a location.
The MSS should be positioned close to the device it will be servicing. Since power-
ing down the unit will terminate any active sessions, it may be desirable to place the
server in a location secure from user access. Also be aware of the unit’s environmen-
tal operating limits and cabling requirements as listed in
Appendix D
.
2
Connect the MSS to an RS232-based serial device.
A
Connect one end of a serial cable to the DB25 connector on the front of the
MSS. You may want to use a serial terminal for the first connection both to
ensure that your server is working and to configure the necessary network set-
tings.
Note:
The serial port is initially set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, one stop bit,
and no parity.
B
Connect the other end of the cable to your serial device’s serial port.
3
Connect the MSS to the Ethernet.
A
Connect one end of a twisted-pair 10/100BASE-T cable to the Ethernet network
via a switch or hub, depending on network topology.
B
Connect the other end of the twisted-pair cable to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the
back of the MSS. The MSS will autosense whether the attached Ethernet cable
is 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T.
4
Supply power to the MSS.
