Equipment Installation
For a detailed description of the hardware installation procedure, refer to the ReadiManager Getting Started
Guide.
Equipment Connection
The RSS 2000 server uses the 10/100Mbps Network Cable as its communication medium. On the backboard of
the server, two self-adaptive 10M/100M Ethernet connectors are provided.
LAN1: It is for web connection and used for equipment control and stream reception and transfer.
LAN2: Not in use currently.
Preliminary Configuration of the Equipment
Preliminary configuration can be made on RSS 2000 by using the series port, and its content includes: checking
and setting the IP address and resetting the login password.
Connecting the Cable
Before using the series port to perform the preliminary configuration, the COM port of your computer must be
connected with the Console port on the backboard of the RSS system through the series communication cable. If
the COM port of your computer is a 25Pin port, you may have to purchase separately a joint of 25Pin to 9Pin for
connection. If your computer has 1 or 2 COM ports, you may connect to either ports.
