Fast Network 100 (FN100) Quick Setup

Unpack the FN100 from the shipping carton. Be sure to save all shipping material.

Make sure the following items were included with the FN100:

Fast Network 100 User Guide

Fast Network 100 LCM Commands Reference Card

   Fast Network 100 MIB Reference Guide

Console Cable Kit

   AC power cord

   Four stick-on feet (for desktop installation)

   Two rack-mount brackets with fasteners

Examine the FN100 for any damage. If you suspect a problem, call Cabletron Systems 

Technical Support.

If you are rack mounting the FN100, see

“Rack-mounting a FN100” in Chapter 2 of the 

Fast 

Network 100 User Guide

 for rack mounting instructions. 

If you are installing the FN100 on a 

desktop, do not place a monitor on top of the unit.

To power up the FN100, plug the AC power cord into the AC power connector on the rear of 

the FN100 chassis and plug the other end of the power cord into a three-prong grounded 

outlet. The input voltage must be between 90 - 250 

VAC

. 

If you are going to manage the FN100 using the Local Console Monitor (LCM), connect 

your ASCII terminal, or terminal emulator, to the out-of-band management RS232C port on 

the front panel of the FN100 using a standard 9-pin serial cable (Only three of the nine 

wires are necessary: Receive Data, Transmit Data, and Ground). 

Be sure your terminal is 

set to the following: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

Press the Enter key several times. If the FN100 is operational, the LCM prompt, 

FN100>

, is 

displayed on your terminal’s screen.
