Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter describes how to set up the Freeway communications server and connect it to the network. Step 1: Review the safety guidelines in the “Safety Precautions” section on page 15. Step 2: Place your Freeway in the selected location. It can be installed in any standard 19-inch rack. It can also be set on a table top where it will occupy about three square feet.
Freeway 2000/4000 Hardware Installation Guide Step 3: Save this note: Match equipment list to 1332 preface.
2: Hardware Installation The carton may also contain other documentation. An optional adapter called a media access unit (MAU) may be ordered for a Freeway with an MVME 162 CPU board. If anything is missing, contact your Simpact customer service representative at 1-800-275-3889. Note Keep the original box and packing material. To avoid damage during shipment, use the original box and packing material when shipping your Freeway.
Freeway 2000/4000 Hardware Installation Guide Step 5: Familiarize yourself with the Freeway’s front panel. Figure 2–1 shows a front view of Freeway 4000 with the door closed. Freeway 2000 has a similar appearance, except it is about two-thirds as tall. Note the four LEDs in the lower left corner of the front panel. If your Freeway has an MVME 2600 CPU board, these LEDs are not used. However, if your Freeway has an MVME 162 CPU board, these LEDs will later confirm successful installation.
2: Hardware Installation Freeway’s front panel is covered by an access door that hinges at the bottom and is fastened by thumbscrews at the top. Figure 2–2 shows the front panel of a Freeway 4000 with an MVME 162 CPU board. Figure 2–3 shows the front panel of a Freeway 4000 with an MVME 2600 CPU board. Freeway 2000 can contain one or two ICPs, and Freeway 4000 can contain one to four ICPs. Each ICP supports 8 or 16 ports. An 8-port ICP supports the EIA-232, EIA-449, EIA-530, V.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Boot Parameters using the Local Console This chapter describes how to use the local console to configure the boot parameters and boot Freeway. You can boot Freeway from a boot server attached to the local-area network or from Freeway’s hard or flash drive. If you are booting from a boot server, it is assumed that: 1. You have performed the hardware installation procedures described in Chapter 2, including the connection of a local console to the rear of the Freeway unit. 2.
Freeway 2000/4000 Hardware Installation Guide You can change the default FTP user name and FTP password that Freeway uses by changing the corresponding boot parameters on the Freeway system. If you do, remember that you must also change the user name and password of the FTP account on the boot server. 4.
3: Configuring the Boot Parameters using the Local Console Step 2: When prompted on the console screen, press within 7 seconds to prevent the autoboot attempt. The Freeway Boot System Main Menu shown in Figure 3–1 appears. Note The Freeway Boot System Main Menu is only accessible using the local console connected to the rear of the Freeway unit. Later you can access these same functions from any remote console using the Freeway Interactive Menu as described in the Freeway User’s Guide.
Freeway 2000/4000 Hardware Installation Guide Step 3: Select option 3 to edit the boot parameters. The system displays the parameters one at a time. Three actions are possible as each parameter is displayed: For Freeway, you always see password. It’s only for SR with a local console that I use ### to indicate that password isn’t seen.
3: Configuring the Boot Parameters using the Local Console Step 4: Configure the boot parameters as described in Table 3–1. Table 3–1: Freeway System Boot Parameter Descriptions Boot Parameter Boot Device Description Freeway 2000/4000 with an MVME 162 CPU: To boot over Ethernet from the primary Ethernet interface, set the boot device to ei.
