D-3 viii ------------------------------------------------------------ How to Use This Manual The first two parts of this book are aimed at different sorts of reader. Read Part I if you are an ordinary user, with experience of installing hardware equipment such as PCs and printers. If you follow the instructions in Part I, and if the line speeds and protocols in the network or networks you connect to are the ones already set in your DEC WANserver 150, you will have a system that works in a simple office environment. (Note that occasionally the text in Part I refers to Part II. This is for informa- tion only, as users of Part II must work through Part I initially.) In addition to Part I, read Part II if you have experience of handling commu- nications equipment and need instructions for: ------------------------------------------------------------ Rack mounting ------------------------------------------------------------ Cabling and fitting adapters ------------------------------------------------------------ Solving problems Part III contains reference information. Note that this book does not give details of connection to individual devices. For more information, see Part II and the DECconnect System Planning and Configuration Guide. ix Part I ------------------------------------------------------------ Basic Installation Part I gives instructions for getting your DEC WANserver 150 working in an office. If you have little or no experience of installing communications equipment, you can use Part I on its own. There are four chapters in Part I: ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 1 describes preinstallation tasks. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 2 explains how to instal the DEC WANserver 150 and lists the basic procedures for solving problems with the installation. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 3 describes how to make connections to networks. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 4 explains how to configure the DEC WANserver 150. 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Preinstallation Tasks This chapter provides an overview of the system installation and of the DEC WANserver 150, and explains the things you must do before you set about installing the DEC WANserver 150. 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 System Installation To install the DEC WANserver 150 and get it running, you must do the fol- lowing: 1. Check you are ready to install the DEC WANserver 150 (see Section 1.2). 2. Unpack the DEC WANserver 150 (see Section 1.3). 3. Complete the server ID card (see Section 1.4). 4. Put the server in place (see Chapter 2). 5. Check/adjust the voltage switch setting (see Chapter 2). 6. Connect to the power source (see Chapter 2). 7. Check that the server runs (see Chapter 2). 8. Connect the server to a network or networks (see Chapter 3.) There is no strict order you must follow for installing the hardware and the software. You may both install and test the hardware without using the soft- ware. You can install software on a load host before you install the hardware. However, the hardware and software must both be installed to verify the system installation. Preinstallation Tasks 1-1 The procedures for installing the software and for verifying the system in- stallation are contained in the installation documentation for the software. 1.1.2 Hardware Overview The DEC WANserver 150 is a high-performance, low-cost server that connects synchronous and/or asynchronous devices (PCs, workstations, modems, for example) to each other and to an Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 local area network. What the Server Looks Like Figure 1-1 shows front and back views of the DEC WANserver 150. There is only one model of the DEC WANserver 150 (DSRVJ) but this model is available with two different voltages preset. Refer to Appendix A for details. Positions for the Server You can install the DEC WANserver 150 in a variety of environments, includ- ing offices and computer rooms. You can place the server on a sturdy hori- zontal surface, such as a desk or table, or in a standard rack cabinet. Digital Equipment Corporation can also provide you with a wall/partition mounting bracket to mount the server onto an office wall directly or to suspend the server from partitioned office walls. See Appendix D for ordering information. 1-2 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide Figure 1-1 DEC WANserver 150 (DSRVJ) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Preinstallation Tasks 1-3 1.2 Preinstallation Checks Before installing the DEC WANserver 150, make sure of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------ You have identified a suitable position for the DEC WANserver 150. ------------------------------------------------------------ Arrangements have been made to connect the server Ethernet port to the Local Area Network (LAN), if appropriate. ------------------------------------------------------------ The required cabling is in place, tested, and tagged. Appendix B gives details of cables and connectors. ------------------------------------------------------------ The devices (modems, personal computers, hosts) are ready to be con- nected. 1-4 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide If you need to do any of the following, you must also have an asynchronous terminal (either DEC423 or EIA-232-D compatible): ------------------------------------------------------------ Configuring your DEC WANserver 150 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hardware testing ------------------------------------------------------------ System verification ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Your software may do this. See the software manual. Preinstallation Tasks 1-5 1.3 Unpack the DEC WANserver 150 Hardware Check the shipment for the items shown in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2 Contents of DEC WANserver 150 Hardware Shipment ------------------------------------------------------------ While unpacking the DEC WANserver 150, note the following: ------------------------------------------------------------ In case of damage: -- Stop unpacking. -- Contact your Digital Equipment Corporation sales representative. ------------------------------------------------------------ If parts are missing: -- Identify the missing parts. -- Contact your Digital Equipment Corporation sales representative. In both cases, save the box and packing material in case you need to return the unit. 1.4 Complete the Server ID Card Locate the DEC WANserver 150 Identification Card included in the server box and copy the following information in the spaces provided. ------------------------------------------------------------ The server 's serial number. The serial number is located on the back of the server. ------------------------------------------------------------ The server 's Ethernet address. The Ethernet address is located on the back of the server. ------------------------------------------------------------ The location of the server, such as an office location, building number, or floor. ------------------------------------------------------------ Your name and the date of installation. Give the ID Card to the system manager. Preinstallation Tasks 1-7 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Installing the DEC WANserver 150 WARNING Ethernet installations may extend to thousands of meters and couple hundreds of separate items of equipment. To prevent hazardous voltages appearing on the installation, it is important that all the equipment be part of a common equipotential system as defined in IEC publications 364-4-41, clauses 413.1.2 and 413.1.6. Where it is necessary to couple equip- ment outside the main equipotential bonded area via Ethernet, then optical repeaters or other such galvanically isolated measures must be employed. If in doubt, please refer to Digital Equipment Corporation for advice. ADVARSEL Ethernet-installationer kan strække sig over tusindvisaf meter og forbinde hundredevis af separate dele af udstyr. For at undgå farlig spænding i installationerne er det vigtigt, at alt udstyret er del af et fælles jordingspunkt som defineret i IEC publikation 364-4-41, klausulerne 413.1.2 og 413.1.6. Hvor det er nødvendigt at forbinde udstyr udenfor det større fælles jordingspunkt via Ethernet, skal der an- vendes optisk kobling eller anden form for gal- vanisk isolering af udstyret. For yderligere oplysninger henvises til den lokale Digital afdel- ing. Installing the DEC WANserver 150 2-1 VAROITUS Ethernet-verkot voivat olla tuhansia metrejä pitkiä ja niihin voidaan liittää satoja erilaisia laitteita. Jotta verkkoon ei pääsisi syntymään vaarallisia jännitteitä, kaikkien laitteiden on ehdottomasti kuuluttava samaan potentiaalin- tasausjär jestelmään, jonka ominaisuudet on määritetty IEC:n julkaisussa 364-4-41, kohdissa 413.1.2 ja 413.1.6. Mikäli Ethernetiin halu- taan liittää laite, joka ei kuulu potentiaal- intasausjär jestelmään, on käytettävä optisia toistimia tai vastaavia galvaanisesti eristet- tyjä menetelmiä. Jos et ole varma käytet- tävästä menetelmästä, ota yhteys Digitaliin. DANGER Une installation Ethernet peut s'étendre sur des kilomètres et relier des centaines d'éléments. Afin d'éviter tout problème électrique, vérifiez la présence d'une mise à la terre commune ainsi qu'elle est définie par l'IEC (364.4.41, clauses 413.1.2 et 413.1.6). S'il s'avère néces- saire de relier par Ethernet des équipements non rattachés à une même terre, utilisez des répéteurs optiques ou autres matériels offrant la même qualité d'isolation. En cas de doute, prenez contact avec les Services techniques Digital. VORSICHT Ethernet-Netzwerke können sich über mehrere tausend Meter erstrecken und mehrere hun- dert einzelne Geräte miteinander verbinden. Zur Vermeidung von gefährlichen Spannungen im Netzwerk ist es unbedingt erforderlich, daß alle Geräte Teil einer gemeinsamen Erdungs- schleife sind, wie in den IEC-Richtlinien 364-4- 41, Abschnitte 413.1.2 und 413.1.6 angegebn. Wenn Geräte außerhalb der Erdungsschleife über Ethernet miteinander verbunden werden müssen, müssen optische Repeater oder an- dere galvanisch getrennte Mittel verwendet werden. Falls Sie Fragen haben, wenden Sie sich an Digital Equipment. 2-2 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide WAARSCHUWING Ethernet-configuraties kunnen een afstand van verschillende kilometers overbruggen en hon- derden afzonderlijke apparaten met elkaar ver- binden. Om te vermijden dat er zich gevaarli- jke spanningen zouden voordoen op de configu- ratie, is het belangrijk dat alle apparatuur ge- bruik maakt van dezelfde voeding en dezelfde aarde, zoals gedefinieerd in de IEC-publikatie 364-4-41, bepalingen 413.1.2. en 413.1.6. Wann- eer apparatuur die niet op eenzelfde equipo- tentiaal spanningsnet is aangesloten via Ethernet gekoppeld moet worden, moet men gebruik maken van optische repeaters of van andere galvanisch isolerende technieken. Bij twijfel gelieve u contact op te nemen met Digital. ADVARSEL Ethernettinstallasjoner kan strekke seg over flere tusen meter og ha tilkoblet flere hundre forskjellige utstyrsenheter.

Vid eventuella oklarheter, kontakta Digital Equipment AB för rådgivn- ing. 2.1 Overview To install the DEC WANserver 150, you must: 1. Put the server in place (Section 2.2) 2. Check and, if necessary, adjust the voltage setting (Section 2.3) 3. Connect to a power source (Section 2.4) The rest of this chapter deals with this. When you have worked through this chapter, go on to making connections to networks (see Chapter 3). To place the DEC WANserver 150 in a rack mounting cabinet, follow the instructions in Chapter 5 and then continue from (Section 2.3). 2.2 Put the Server in Place Place the server on a desk or table. Digital can also provide you with a wall/partition mounting bracket to mount the server directly onto an office wall or to suspend the server from partitioned office walls. This bracket must be ordered separately. See Appendix D for ordering information. For office use, place the DEC WANserver 150 hardware in the place you iden- tified in Chapter 1. 2.3 Check the Voltage Switch Setting 1. Make sure the plug on the power cable matches your wall socket. (Do not insert the plug into the socket yet.) 2. Select the correct voltage switch setting by following the steps given below. A setting of 240 is correct for voltages in the range 220-240 V ac. A setting of 120 is correct for voltages in the range 100-120 V ac. Make sure that the setting is the same as the one shown on the label. CAUTION Using the DEC WANserver 150 with an in- correct voltage switch setting may damage the server. 2-6 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide Step 1: Locate the removable voltage label. Step 2: Remove the voltage label. Installing the DEC WANserver 150 2-7 Step 3: Check the voltage select switch. Step 4: If necessary, adjust the voltage select switch. 2-8 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 2.4 Connect to a Power Source Test the server hardware before connecting it to the LAN. When the server is first connected to a power source, it does internal checks and sends signals to the Ethernet socket. If you select ThinWire and attach a T-connector with two 50-ohm terminators, as detailed in the following steps, there is no error indicated. Step 1: Select ThinWire Ethernet. To select ThinWire Ethernet, press the selector switch. The switch will remain in, and the ThinWire Ethernet LED will light when power is supplied to the server. Installing the DEC WANserver 150 2-9 Step 2: Connect the ThinWire T-Connector and Terminators. Insert both of the 50-ohm terminators into the T-connector and insert the T- connector into the BNC connector at the rear of the server. Lock the connector in position by turning the barrel clockwise. 2-10 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide Step 3: Connect the Server to a Power Source. To connect the server to a power source, insert the power cord into the power cord socket and insert the power plug into a power outlet: Plugging in the server power cord applies power directly to the server and starts the server self-test. The ThinWire LED and the seven-segment display should light up (see the next step). Installing the DEC WANserver 150 2-11 Step 4: Unplug the power cord and continue. Watch the seven-segment display: When you connect the DEC WANserver 150 to a power source, the server goes through internal checks. The seven-segment display counts down from F to 3 while the server is running these checks. If the count-down stops before reaching 3, or if you have other problems with the installation, see Section 2.5. When the seven-segment display has counted down to 3 the internal checks are complete. Disconnect the power cord and the T-connector and continue with the installation. 2-12 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 2.5 Basic Installation Troubleshooting In order to recognize the basic problems that this section deals with, you will need to refer to Figure 2-1, which shows the server controls, indicators, and connectors used by the DEC WANserver 150. They are all on the rear of the server. Figure 2-1 DEC WANserver 150 Back Panel ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Installing the DEC WANserver 150 2-13 If no lights show when you connect power, make these checks: 1. Make sure that the voltage select switch is set to the correct voltage for your country. 2. Secure the power cable at the server and at the wall outlet, and check the fuse in the power cable plug. 3. Check the wall outlet using another appliance or plug the server into another outlet. If power is not available at the wall outlet, check the wall outlet's circuit breaker. 4. Check if the server 's circuit breaker (Figure 2-1) has tripped. If it has, press the white button to reset the breaker, and reconnect the power. If the circuit breaker trips more than once, tell the system manager. The server must be returned to Digital for repair or replacement. 5. Check the power cord by substituting another one. If the first is defective, replace it. 6. Ask a competent engineer to run the checks given in Chapter 7. 7. If the DEC WANserver 150 is defective, tell the system manager. The server must be returned to Digital for repair or replacement. 2-14 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Connecting to Networks The DEC WANserver 150 connects computers and servers on a Local Area Network (LAN) to all the services that a Wide Area Network (WAN) pro- vides, either through the 25-pin serial port or through the 50-pin serial port or through both. If you use both serial ports your LAN has access to two WANs, at the line speeds noted in Appendix A. This chapter explains how to connect your DEC WANserver 150 to a network. Section 3.1 explains how to connect your DEC WANserver 150 to a WAN. Section 3.2 explains how to connect your DEC WANserver 150 to a LAN. When you have made the network connections, your DEC WANserver 150 is already configured with the default values listed in Table C-1. If you want to change these values, you need to attach a console terminal and reconfigure the DEC WANserver 150. Part II describes how to do this. Connecting to Networks 3-1 3.1 Connect Serial Ports There are two serial ports at the back of the DEC WANserver 150, one that uses a 50-pin D-connector and one that uses a 25-pin D-connector. Both D- connectors are secured using jack screws. Section 3.1.1 shows how to connect to the 25-pin device port. Section 3.1.2 shows how to connect to the 50-pin device port. For cables attached to either port, an adapter must be fitted if the modem or modem eliminator is wired in a certain way. Seek advice from a competent engineer if you are unsure. Part II deals with this. Safety Warning for UK Installations only The DEC WANserver 150 has a label regarding the safety requirements of communications modules installed in the United Kingdom. The safety label states: SAFETY WARNING. See instructions for use. The following warnings and conditions apply in the UK only: WARNING The port indicated by the safety label is not intended to provide electrical and mechanical isolation to satisfy the requirements of BS6301. Connect only apparatus conforming with BS6301 to the device ports 1 , or apparatus that has pre- viously been evaluated against British Telecom [Post Office] Technical Guides 2 or 26 and given permission to attach. Other usage will invali- date any approval given to this apparatus. Connecting apparatus to which this warning applies, whether the ports are so marked or not so marked, may produce hazardous conditions on the network. Seek advice from a competent engineer before making any such connection. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Products complying with Oftel's General Approval NS/G/23/J/100003 may be connected to the DEC WANserver 150 and need not carry the BS6301 warning text or label.

Follow these steps: Step 1: Connect the female connector of the cable to the male connector on the server. Connecting to Networks 3-5 Step 2: Connect the adapter cable to an extension cable. Step 3: Connect the male connector of the cable to the female connector on the modem. 3-6 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 3.2 Connect Ethernet Whether you are going to connect to Standard or to ThinWire Ethernet, you must use the selector switch as shown in the following diagram. (You will recognize this button--it is the one you used before you first connected the DEC WANserver 150 to a power source. The end of Chapter 2 dealt with this.) Connecting to Networks 3-7 To connect to Standard Ethernet, see Section 3.2.1. To connect to a ThinWire Ethernet, see Section 3.2.2. CAUTION Do not press the Standard/ThinWire selector switch when the server software is operating as this will cause the system to crash. 3.2.1 Standard Ethernet Connection Step 1: Verify the Standard/ThinWire switch is in the Out position and the Standard Ethernet LED is on. Step 2: Power down the server. Step 3: Unlock the slide latch on the server's Standard Ethernet connector. 3-8 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide Step 4: Connect the transceiver cable. Step 5: Lock the slide latch on the Standard Ethernet connector. Step 6: Power up the server. Connecting to Networks 3-9 3.2.2 ThinWire Ethernet Connection Step 1: Verify the Standard/ThinWire switch is in the In position. (Note that you selected ThinWire Ethernet before connecting the server to a power source, so if you have not changed the setting since then the switch will be in the correct position.) Step 2: Insert the T-connector into the BNC connector at the rear of the server. Step 3: Turn the barrel of the connector clockwise to lock it. 3-10 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ Configuring the DEC WANserver 150 The DEC WANserver 150 comes with the default parameter settings listed in Table C-1. If you need to change any of these settings, you must first attach a console. Section 4.1 explains how to do this. Section 4.2 explains how to reconfigure the server. 4.1 Attaching a Console To attach a console you need a communications lead with a modified modular plug (MMP) fitted at each end. If the console has a 25-pin D-connector, you also need an H8571 adapter. Appendix D contains ordering information. If the console you want to attach is fitted with a 25-pin male D-connector, follow steps 1 and 2a. If the console you want to attach has a modified modular jack (MMJ) connector, follow steps 1 and 2b. Configuring the DEC WANserver 150 4-1 Step 1: Insert one modified modular plug (MMP) on the cable into the modified modular jack (MMJ) connector. 4-2 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide Step 2a: Fit the H8571 adapter, and connect the modified modular plug (MMP) on the other end of the cable to the MMJ on the adapter. Configuring the DEC WANserver 150 4-3 Step 2b: Insert the MMP on the other end of the cable into the MMJ connector on the terminal. Step 3: Configure the terminal. Following the instructions in the hardware documentation for the terminal, make sure that it has the following setup: ------------------------------------------------------------ 9600 baud ------------------------------------------------------------ 8 bits ------------------------------------------------------------ No parity 4-4 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 4.2 Configuring the Server Line Speed You may configure the server to have any one of the following line speed configurations, or lower speeds: ------------------------------------------------------------ Port 1 configured for 64 Kbits/s and port 2 disabled. ------------------------------------------------------------ Port 1 configured for 64 Kbits/s and port 2 configured for 9.6 Kbits/s. ------------------------------------------------------------ Port 2 configured for 19.2 Kbits/s and port 1 disabled. ------------------------------------------------------------ Both ports configured for 19.2 Kbits/s. CAUTION Do not configure the DEC WANserver 150 to exceed these line speeds. Configuring Device Ports To configure the device ports, you use the Bootline Configuration Program (BCP). The BCP has four commands: ------------------------------------------------------------ CONFIGURE ------------------------------------------------------------ SHOW ------------------------------------------------------------ TEST ------------------------------------------------------------ CONTINUE This section deals with the CONFIGURE command. Details of other BCP commands are given in Appendix C. When you have finished using the BCP, you return the server to normal use by issuing the CONTINUE command. To configure the device ports: 1. Run the BCP by typing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/B ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ in any of these cases: ------------------------------------------------------------ The server passes self-test and is attempting to load (3 or 4 shows on the diagnostic display). ------------------------------------------------------------ You see this prompt: Init -1004- Enter ^B to enter BCP ------------------------------------------------------------ You see this prompt: Init -1003- Enter ^P to repeat self-test or ^B to enter BCP For more information on these messages and on the self-test, see Chapter 7.

However, all un- used lines on the DEMPR must have a 50-ohm terminator installed as shown in Figure 6-4. Figure 6-4 Connections on the DEMPR ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ For further information on ThinWire Ethernet installation, see the DECconnect System Planning and Configuration Guide. Making Connections to Networks and Fitting Adapters 6-7 6.2 Adapters You use a separate adapter cable for each protocol standard with the exception of V.36, which uses the same cable as RS-422-A. The V.24/RS-232-C adapter (part number 12-27591-01) must be fitted between the device cable and the server if the modem (or modem eliminator) has any of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------ A DCE-sourced signal on pin 18 ------------------------------------------------------------ Signal quality implemented on pin 21 ------------------------------------------------------------ Data Signal Rate Selector (DCE) on pin 23 WARNING Failure to fit an adapter could result in damage to the interface module and modem or modem eliminator. If you are not sure what signals the modem or modem eliminator provides, con- tact Digital Field Service or fit the adapter as a matter of course. Section 6.2.1 explains how to fit an adapter to the 25-pin port. Section 6.2.2 ex- plains how to fit an adapter between the 50-pin adapter cable and its extension cable. For further information on cables, refer to Section B.3. 6-8 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 6.2.1 Fitting to the 25-Pin Port Step 1: Push the adapter into the 25-pin port. Making Connections to Networks and Fitting Adapters 6-9 Step 2: Plug the cable into the adapter. 6.2.2 Fitting Between the 50-Pin Cables 6-10 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 7 ------------------------------------------------------------ Dealing with Problems This chapter details checks and tests you can make if you have difficulties installing or configuring the DEC WANserver 150. Work through these checks: 1. Check the server hardware meets the specifications listed in Appendix A. 2. Check the correct software is properly installed (Section 7.1). 3. Reinitialize the server as described in Section 7.2. 4. Run the diagnostics procedures as described in Section 7.3. 5. Run the loopback tests described in Section 7.4. 7.1 Software Requirements Check that the following software requirements are met: ------------------------------------------------------------ The distribution software is installed on each load host. ------------------------------------------------------------ DECnet Phase IV or Phase IV Plus software is installed on each load host (not required for ULTRIX systems). The distribution software includes a server image file that is down-line loaded to a DEC WANserver 150. The load host down-line loads the server image to any servers that require it. The image running on the DEC WANserver 150 constitutes the server software that enables the server to perform its functions. All software must be installed and verified before you can operate the server. For more information, see the Software Product Description (SPD). Dealing with Problems 7-1 7.2 Reinitialize the DEC WANserver 150 To reinitialize the server with the default values set at the factory: 1. Disconnect power from the server. 2. Hold in the button marked D1, located on the back panel of the server. 3. Reconnect power. 4. When the seven-segment display (Figure 7-1) shows E, release D1. Table C-1 lists the parameter values set at the factory. 7.3 Running Diagnostics In order to run diagnostics, you will need a console connected to the DEC WANserver 150. Refer to Section 4.1 for instructions on connecting a console, if one is not already in place. In all problem solving you will need to refer to the seven-segment display. Figure 7-1 shows the seven-segment display. The diagnostic dot on the display also provides diagnostic information and so does the console. When you connect the server power cord, the seven-segment display shows the digit 8 for approximately six seconds, followed by a blank display for approximately one-and-a-half seconds. When self-test runs the display counts down from F through 5 as each block of tests is executed. If a fatal error is detected, the count will stop and the code of the test which has failed will flash. If a nonfatal error is detected, the count will continue and the diagnostic dot will blink. Table 7-1 describes the displays and suggests problem solving steps. 7-2 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide Figure 7-1 The Seven-Segment Display ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Dealing with Problems 7-3 Table 7-1 Interpreting the Diagnostic Display ------------------------------------------------------------ Device Definition State Indication Action ------------------------------------------------------------ Diagnostic dot Diagnostic On Self-test passed -- Off Fatal error See Section 2.5 Blinking Error that is not fatal See Section 7.3.1 Seven- segment display Status/diagnostic Off No power or display broken See Section 2.5 Flashing Fatal error No corrective action possible. Arrange for return and repair or replacement of the server. 3 Load request back- off See Section 7.3.2 Rotating segment pattern Server software executing -- ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE On power-up, the seven-segment display will show an 8 and the diagnostic dot will be on for about half a second. Allow about 2 minutes to elapse before determining the state of the display. When the server passes self-test, it attempts to load the server software from the host and displays 4 on the seven-segment display. The server keeps at- tempting to load the server software indefinitely. If the attempts are un- successful, the display alternates between 4 and 3, with the times between attempted loads getting longer (up to a maximum of five minutes). 7-4 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide 7.3.1 Interpreting the Diagnostic Dot If the diagnostic dot is blinking, an error message appears on the terminal attached to the server. If no terminal is connected, disconnect the server and follow the instructions in Section 4.1. Connect power again, and read the error message that appears on the terminal screen. If the server passes the self-test with the BNC T-piece fitted and the two terminators connected (with the Standard Ethernet/ThinWire switch set In), then the problem is likely to be in the cables or equipment connected to the server. The rest of this section lists the error messages, their meaning, and what action to take. 1003 Init -1003- Enter ^P to repeat self-test or ^B to enter BCP ------------------------------------------------------------ Problem Solution ------------------------------------------------------------ None of the ports that are enabled to down-line load the server software has passed self-test.

Transceiver Cables Use BNE3x-xx transceiver cable--available in FEP versions--in return air conduits; the same cable is also available in PVC versions, for use in non- environmental airspaces. The large diameter of this cable results in a lower signal cable loss than the smaller diameter office transceiver cable. Two styles of connector are available: a straight connector and a right-angle connector. The following cables are available: ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3A-xx PVC, straight-connector transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3B-xx PVC, right-angle connector transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3C-xx FEP, straight-connector transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3D-xx FEP, right-angle connector transceiver cable D-4 DEC WANserver 150 Installation/Owner's Guide ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3H-xx PVC, straight-connector, 802.3-compliant transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3K-xx PVC, right-angle connector, 802.3-compliant transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3L-xx FEP, straight-connector, 802.3-compliant transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE3M-xx FEP, right-angle connector, 802.3-compliant transceiver cable These cables are available in 5 meters (16.4 feet), 10 meters (32.8 feet), 20 meters (65.6 feet), and 40 meters (131.2 feet) lengths. Use BNE4x-xx office transceiver cable--available in PVC versions--in nonen- vironmental airspaces. The smaller diameter of this cable makes it ideal for use in office environments; however, the smaller diameter results in a cable signal loss that is four times greater than that of BNE3x-xx transceiver cables. Two styles of connector are available: a straight connector and a right-angle connector. The following cables are available: ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE4A-xx PVC, straight-connector transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE4B-xx PVC, right-angle connector transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE4C-xx PVC, straight-connector, 802.3-compliant transceiver cable ------------------------------------------------------------ BNE4D-xx PVC, right-angle connector, 802.3-compliant transceiver cable These cables are available in 2 meters (6.6 feet) and 5 meters (16.4 feet) lengths.
