Connecting Optional Devices to the ATS-LNX
•
eth1: 192.168.250.251 (port labeled Ethernet #1)
Connecting Optional
Devices to the ATS-
LNX
Connect the devices appropriate for how you plan to use the ATS-LNX:
1.
To dial-in and manage the ATS-LNX through a modem, connect an external
modem to the AUX A connector of the ATS-LNX.
If you want to connect a serial device (other than a modem) to this port, see
Using the AUX A Port as a Standard tty Port
on Page 22 to change the default
port set up.
2.
If you want to connect a parallel printer to the system, connect the printer
cable to the PARALLEL connector.
Note: Go to www.debian.org to download a print spooler or printer driver.
3.
Optionally, insert a PCMCIA device into one of the PCMCIA slots. See
on Page 45 for detailed information.
4.
Optionally, connect up two USB devices to the USB ports.
5.
If the PC104 RocketPort
®
option is installed, connect the PC104 RocketPort
cable (quad- or octacable) to the SERIAL PORTS 1-8 connector.
Note: If you have the PC104 RocketPort card option installed, do not connect
any RS-422 or RS-485 devices to the serial ports until you have
configured the driver.
Powering on and
Configuring the
ATS-LNX
After connecting the cables and devices, you can power on the ATS-LNX and log in
to the operating system.
1.
Connect the power cable into the power supply and connect the power supply
(with the latch and key up) into the POWER connector.
2.
Connect the power cable to a power source.
Note: The system beeps during the power on cycle. If you have the RocketPort
PC104 option installed, solid yellow Tx LEDs also indicate that you
have power to the unit.
3.
If connected to the CONSOLE port, press any key when this message appears:
Press key to activate this console.
4.
Select the kernel that you want to run:
•
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-comtrol-dm-ats (VGA) - Default
Boots a kernel that has been compiled specifically for the ATS-LNX
platform, which selects the VGA graphics adapter as the system console.
•
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-comtrol-dm-ats (serial)
Same kernel as the above selection, but the CONSOLE serial port is
selected as the system console.
•
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4
Boots the standard bf2.4 kernel distributed by the Debian project, which
selects the VGA adapter as the system console.
In all three cases, kernel messages are sent to both the serial and VGA
consoles. The system console selection controls which device is used by
daemons and the syslog facility. You can modify the console settings by editing
the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
5.
Log in as root at the Debian prompt. The default system password is
devicemaster and it is case-sensitive.
