Step 1: Install the Hardware

Install the hardware by following the DNPG installation guides and manuals. The

following instructions in this section are used only to highlight important points for a

specific AWAN 3886 model.

Notes for Hardware Installation for All AWAN 3886 Models

The following text summarizes important points regarding hardware installation. Refer

to the appropriate Digital Networks manual for assembly and re-assembly.

•

Connect the PC client to the same local area network (LAN) subnet as the 3886

AWAN.

•

The AWAN console port is a regular asynchronous port; the default is port 1 on all

AWAN 3886 models. The port transmits messages at initialization time and can be

changed or disabled by the Change Server Port command.

•

The 3886 AWAN unit is functioning properly when the seven-segment display is

running in a “race-track pattern” of segmented figure-8s. For boot-up activity

codes, see Table 3-4 on page 3-6.

Caution. If you decide to mount any 3886 units on a rack, make sure that you leave enough

space for air flow around the units.
