Install the AWAN 3886-8A (DECserver 708)

The following steps outline installing the 3886-8A model.

1. For hardware installation, follow the included instruction cards and manuals.

2. If you are using the 3886-8A, set the Ethernet selector switch to either 10BaseT

(left) or AUI (right) as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-5. The 10BaseT and standard

Ethernet connections are not self-sensing.

If you set the switch to the right to select the AUI setting, you must install a 15-pin

transceiver unit, or media access unit (MAU). This unit must be ordered separately.

See Converters on page 1-13.

3. The AWAN 3886-8A uses a DB-9 connection adapter. See Appendix A, Adapters

for Cables and Devices for information on signal pin outs.

Note. You must set the Ethernet Selector Switch before you power-on the AWAN unit.
