Installation & Initial Configuration MN/MENCAPEDC.IOM
2.3.2 Redundancy Installation
The MENCAP 50 Redundancy (CME-5100 or CME-5110) is designed for ease of
installation and configuration. Once the unit has been removed from the packing
container, please follow these instructions:
Step Procedure
1 Place the MENCAP Redundancy configuration into a rack. This configuration requires
a single rack unit (1RU) in a standard 19” rack enclosure.
2 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (patch cord) to the port labeled ETHERNET on the
Primary unit and Secondary unit (left and right, respectively, looking at the front).
These cables should connected to an Ethernet concentrator (hub) or switch.
3 Connect a terminal cable (supplied) to the port labeled TERM. This cable should be
connected to a PC’s serial port (DB-9) to initially configure the MENCAP 50.
4 Connect the AC power cords between a standard wall outlet and the power supply.
The Blue LEDs will illuminate on both MENCAP 50 chassis and the CME-1600
Redundancy Switch chassis.
