Troubleshooting Ethernet Communications
In case of Ethernet communications problems, check the following:
The Link (L) LED next to the Ethernet port should be on (FIG. 2). If not, check your cables
and connectors.
Connect a display device to the AVP to view the Configuration Page for the IP settings (IP
Address and Subnet Mask), and verify that these settings are appropriate for your network
configuration.
Rack Mounting the MAX-AVP
The MAX-AVP comes with rack-ears, to allow mounting the unit in a standard 19" equipment rack - the
AVP will take up a single rack space.
The rack-ear kit includes two steel rack ears and eight sets of flat washers, split lock-washers, and nuts.
The MAX-AVP rack-ears (FIG. 3) feature four mounting posts, to provide a clean installation. These
mounting posts require that the rack-ears are secured to the unit from inside the chassis, so you will have
to remove the cover, as described below:
1.
Turn off the AVP, and disconnect the power cord and all connecting cords.
2.
Place the unit face up on a soft and dry flat surface.
3.
On the rear panel, remove the four screws that secure the top of the enclosure to the bottom (FIG. 4)
and keep them in a safe place for further use:
