52 Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300
December 2003
2 Connect the RS-232 serial cable and DB-9 adapter cable provided with the G700 between your
laptop and the G700:
— Attach one end of the RS-232 cable to the RJ-45 jack on the front of the G700 that is the
stack master. The serial port is on the lower right side of the chassis, labeled Console.
— Plug the other end of the RS-232 cable into the RJ-45 jack on the DB-9 adapter cable.
— Connect the other end of the DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on your laptop.
3 Use a serial-connection program such as HyperTerminal to access the P330 stack processor.
Connect Laptop to Customer LAN
To connect to the customer’s LAN, either on site or remotely over the Internet, your PC must be assigned
an IP address on the LAN. The IP address can be a static address on the customer’s LAN that you enter in
the TCP/IP properties or it can be assigned dynamically with DHCP. Ask the customer how they want
you to make the connection.
Connect the External Modem to the S8300
Media Server:
Each S8300 Media Server requires a Universal Serial Bus (USB) modem for maintenance access and to
call out an alarm. The external modem may be connected to the S8300 Media Server through a universal
serial bus (USB) connection, providing dial-up access. The modem requires its own external analog line.
• The modem type is not optional and must be the specific modem that is shipped with the S8300.
• The remote connection should support a data speed of at least 33.6 Kbps.
• The remote PC must be administered for PPP connections in order to connect through a modem.
A dial-up connection is typically used only for services support of the server, not for routine
administration. If the Server is administered to report OSS alarms, it uses the same line for alarm
notification. The server cannot report any new alarms while this line is in use.
1 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.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the external modem.
3 Connect the modem to an external analog line.
NOTE:
The modem that is shipped with the S8300 obtains its power from the USB interface.
There is no power connection.
4 Verify operation as instructed by the modem’s documentation.
5 To enable the modem, access the S8300 Media Server’s Maintenance Web Pages (see Log in to
the S8300 Web Interface from Your Laptop on page 57), and click Enable/Disable Modem on the
main menu
The system displays the Enable/Disable Modem window.
