Initial Power-On
3 - INITIAL POWER-ON
This chapter describes the initial power-on procedure for the M70 terminal.
When the terminal is switched on up for the very first time two configuration
methods are available:
- Quick Set-Up: a wizard allows the terminal to be set-up in few seconds
for typical use.
- Auto-Configuration: used in conjunction with AxRM, this function allows
the terminal to automatically receive new firmware and/or a configuration
At any time pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Esc> will enter Terminal Set-Up.
For more information about set-up, please read the AX3000 User's Manual.
2.1 - QUICK SET-UP
The quick set-up is designed for a typical simple environment of:
- One server
- An optional router
- All sessions set identically
- An optional printer.
☺: This typical configuration may be modified at the end of the Quick Set-Up
procedure.
The ‘quick set-up’ guides the user through a setup menu in an intuitive manner.

Initial Power-On
intervention. There are also options to specify various terminal specific
parameters, for example an IP address and terminal name etc.
Note: the auto-configuration mechanism requires minimum version 2.0.2 of
AxRM (available free from www.axel.com
).
For more information on AxRM’s action in the auto-configuration process, see
the manual "Axel Remote Management - Version 3".
The auto-configuration process is automatically initiated when power is applied
to a brand new terminal or if the terminal is reset to factory defaults. This
process may be aborted by pressing any key.
Note: the auto-configuration may also be started at each terminal boot time.
The stages are:
- Checking the network (link),
- DHCP request sent to obtain an IP address and other parameters
(optional),
- Terminal contacts the AxRM server,
- Firmware file sent (if required), followed by a reboot,
- Configuration file sent, followed by a reboot.

Installation Guide - Models 70
Problem Solving
This signal indicates that keyboard initialization has failed. Check the keyboard
connection to the terminal back panel.
It is possible for the keyboard to function correctly, despite this double-beep
signal. As a quick test of keyboard operation, enter set-up mode by pressing the
<Ctrl><Alt><Esc> keys simultaneously. If set-up mode is working, you can
ignore the double beep signal and use the terminal normally.
- ETHERNET CONNECTION GREEN INDICATOR DOES NOT LIGHT
This indicator is the green LED located on the left side of the network connector
on the terminal back panel.
Failure to light when the terminal is switched on may be due to any of the
following:
- The Ethernet cable is disconnected at the far end,
- The device (host or hub), to which the network cable is connected, is not
switched on,
- There is a fault on the Ethernet cable or the cable is wired with incorrect
pin assignments.
- THE CONNECTED PRINTER DOES NOT WORK
First check that the cable pin assignment is correct.
Test the printer in local mode by selecting the [ASCII TEST] button within the
auxiliary port dialog box. (If ASCII format is not supported by the printer, the
banner won't be displayed.)
