2. Installation 2.1 Unpacking The product package contains: • The system unit • One power cord • One 19-inch rack mounting kit • Operation Manual 2.2 System Units The figure below illustrates the front view of the KC-1300 system: Depending on the model purchased, the type and numbers of the preinstalled media converters may be different. The figure shows a system which is fully installed with media converters. The following figures show the rear view of the KC-1300 system.
The following figure shows the model equipped with two AC power chassis. Main Chassis : provides insertion slots on front panel for CPU management module and optional add-on media converters. It also provides two chassis slots on rear for mounting power chassis modules. Management Module : serves as a management agent to monitor system status and add-on converter modules for in-band and out-of-band management requests. Power Chassis : provides full centered power supply for whole system unit.
2.2.2 Management Module The system unit comes with one pre-installed Management module.
Console Port This port is a 9-pin male D-sub connector. It serves as an RS-232 DTE port. Refer to Chapter xx for the console operation. The pin definitions are: Pin2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Pin 5 Pin 6 RXD TXD DTR GND DSR UTP Port This is an auto-negotiation 10/100BASE-TX LAN port and provides a shielded RJ-45 jack with MDI definition. This port must connect to your TCP/IP network for all in-band management operations.
2.2.3 Power Chassis Modules The system power supply is assembled in a plug-in chassis module as shown below: Each single power module is capable to supply full power for system operation with media converters fully installed.
DC Power Chassis Specifications (KC1300-DC) Input power switch System power on/off switch Input power receptacle Terminal connector (screw type) Input voltage rating -48VDC Input voltage range -48VDC +/-10% Output power 60W Power status display Green LED -17-
Removal of System Power Chassis The system power chassis is pre-installed in the system unit when system unit is shipped from factory. The chassis is designed for easy uninstallation from system unit in case of any inspection purpose. However, note that this removal only can be performed by a well-trained technical person. For safety reason before removing the power chassis, make sure: • The power switch is turned off. • The power cord is disconnected from the power chassis.
Insertion of System Power Chassis Before inserting the power chassis into system unit, make sure: • The system power switch is turned off. • The power cord is disconnected from the power chassis. To insert the power chassis, hold the handle and push it into system unit until it is seated in system chassis properly. Screw the chassis securely in the system unit.
2.2.4 Media Converter Slots The system chassis provides sixteen slots for installing optional slide-in MCs. A media converter can be inserted into an available slot or removed from a slot anytime even when system unit is powered on. This hot-plug design keeps all exiting connections on the other slots running with no influence. To insert an MC into a slot, the steps are: 1. Install a bracket, which is provided in the rack chassis package onto the MC unit as shown below: 2.
To remove an MC from slot, the steps are: 1. Disconnect all cable connections on the MC first. 2. Unscrew the MC bracket from system chassis. 3. Hold the bracket and pull it slowly out from the slot. The media converters are designed with hot-plug feature, which allows insertion and removal of the converters can be performed even when the system is in operation.
2.3 Rack Mounting One rack mounting kit is supplied in the product package. It includes two rack mounting brackets and screws for installing the system unit into a 19-inch rack.
3. Network Management 3.
The system unit is equipped with one management module which serves as a management agent to monitor the system status and all installed media converter modules. The agent also responses to either in-band management requests coming from network or out-of-band requests from directly connected console. 3.
3.3 Setup for Out-of-band (Console) Management Before doing any in-band management, it is necessary to perform console operation for configuring IP and SNMP related settings for the first time the system is received for installation. The console port is located on the SNMP module. Any PC running Windows can be used as a console via COM port. Windows Hyper Terminal program is an ideal and the most popular software for such console terminal operations. To setup console operation, the steps are: 1.
2. Connect one end to the console port and connect the other end to the PC COM port. 3. Configure your PC COM port setting to match the RS-232 settings of the console port and start your terminal software. Factory default settings of the Console port Baud rate : 38400, N, 8, 1, 0 Flow control : disabled 4. Turn the system power on. 5. Press key several times in your terminal software until a login prompt comes up. It means the connection is proper.
3.4 Setup for In-band Management To perform an in-band management, it is necessary to connect the system to your TCP/IP network. The steps are: 1. Configure IP and SNMP related settings to the system using direct console management when you receive it first time for the installation. 2. Find a proper straight-through Category 5 UTP cable (maximal length 100 meters) for the connection. 3.
4. Console and Telnet Operation Functions supported: • Set and display IP parameters for the system. • Set and display SNMP parameters for the SNMP agent function. • Monitor system power status, power temperature status, system fan status and other system information. • Monitor installation status of each slots. • Monitor the configuration and link status of each MC installed. • Restore default settings for the system • Change administrator password for access control. • Update system software.
* Remote MC TP link status monitoring is available only when KC300DM in the rack is connected to a remote KC-300DM through fiber link. Cold Start When the power to the system is turned on, the system start initialization and self-test process. The self-test messages are displayed as follows if a console connection is established successfully.: Power-on Self-test --------------------------------------------$$$ System LOADER Checksum O.K !!! $$$ System IMAGE Checksum O.K !!! $$$ System DATA Checksum O.
Direct Console Management When you can see the self-test messages shown on screen properly, you can press key to start console login operation. Go to Login Prompt section in next page directly. Telnet Management Use Telnet software to perform the management operation. The most convenient solution is using the built-in Telnet function in a Windows 95/98/ or NT PC. Enter into DOS window and invoke Telnet command : >telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to connect to the system unit. The specified xxx.xxx.xxx.
