Connection Description
BayTech's Host communication module determines the type of interface that controls user access to the DS Series data switch and other DS Series connected modules. The Host module is a system data controller that directs operations between this base unit, system modules and externally connected devices.
Installation
UNPACKING
Compare the unit and serial number of the equipment you received to the packing slip located on the outside of the box. Inspect equipment carefully for damage that may have occurred in shipment. If there is damage to the equipment or if materials are missing, contact BayTech technical support at 228- 563-7334 or call toll free inside the United States at 800-523-2702. At a minimum, you should receive the following:
1. DS-RPC series unit and/or DS modules.
2. Manual insert describing the location of the User’s Guide on BayTech’s website at
www.baytech.net.
3. Power Cords that may be attached to the unit (if order requested detachable cords).
4. 1 ea. DE-9 (9 pin) PC com port adapter -- 9FRJ45PC (with Cisco Interface) or 9FRJ45PC-1.
5. 1 ea. RJ-45 Roll over cable -- RJ08X007.
NOTE: Keep shipping container and packing material in the event future shipment is required.
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
The installation area should be clean and free of extreme temperatures and humidity. Allow sufficient space behind the DS unit for cabling and receptacle connections. Access to installation site should be restricted to authorized personnel. Installation of these units should be limited to ITE and Telco server environments.
Power
• 120 VAC Model: Internal 120 VAC 60 Hz (10 Amps Maximum Load).
• 230 VAC Model: Internal 230 VAC 60 Hz (10 Amps Maximum Load).
CAUTION:
temperatures and humidity. Do not install near water or expose this unit to moisture. To prevent heat buildup, do not coil the power cord when in use. Do not use extension cords. Do not attempt to make any internal changes to the power source. Do not attempt to modify any portion or component of a DS72 module unless specifically directed by BayTech Technical Support. BayTech must perform any internal changes.
CAUTION: High-voltage surges and spikes can damage this equipment. To protect from such power surges and spikes, this unit must have a good earth ground. A grounding screw connection is located near the power switch on the back of the unit.
This unit is intended for indoor use only in a clean and free of extreme

CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any modules, turn off main power switch located on the DS-Series Base Unit. Communication to the DS-Series Data Switch will be disrupted while power is off.
CAUTION: For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible disconnect device (Circuit Breaker rated not to exceed the amperage rating of the unit) shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring between the power source and the Baytech unit. For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible. The outlets providing power to the unit shall be protected against over current and short circuit by suitable rated protective devices.

QUICK START: DS-RPC
by Bay Technical Associates
For those Administrators who have requested the bare minimum for this type of equipment, follow these steps exactly. If this is a new unit shipped directly from Baytech, follow the steps. If this is a previously own unit, perform a factory reset to clear out any users and passwords still in the unit.
RPC Controller Configuration:
Before continuing your System Administrator needs to tell you to use DHCP or give you an IP Address, Subnet Address, and Gateway Address.
1. Connect the 9FRJ45PC-4 or 9FRJ45PC-1 adapter to your PC.
2. Connect the supplied rollover flat cable RJ08X007 to the adapter and to the EIA232 serial port on the Baytech HOST Module.
3. Use terminal emulation software to access the unit, (i.e. Microsoft Hyper-terminal). Set the PC serial port configuration to the following: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1stop bit and no parity.
4. If you get only a blinking cursor Press ‘Enter’. If still only a blinking cursor, Type 5 semi-colons (;),The Attention Character will not echo on the screen. There is a one second delay before the menu is displayed. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 1).
5. Select ‘DS-RPC’ and type ‘config’ at the prompt for the configuration menu. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 2).
6. Select Manage Users. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 3)
7. IMPORTANT NOTE: the first user added will be the ADMIN user. Type ‘A’ and press ‘Enter’. Type the name of the admin user. The name is case sensitive.
8. Select the number of the user. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 4).
9. Select ‘Add Outlet(s)’ to add a few outlets (i.e. 1,2,4) and press ‘Enter’ or select ‘Add All Outlet’. A ‘Y’ signifies the outlet has been assigned to the user.
10. Press ‘Enter’ Repeat steps 6 thru 9 to add other users.
11. Press ‘Enter’ until get to the Host module network menu (Figure 1).
At this point you have enough basic configurations needed to operate the RPC part of the DS­RPC unit.
Serial Setup
• Connect the 9FRJ45PC-4 adapter to the user’s computer
• Connect the Host Module’s EIA-232 port to the adapter via the RJ08X007 rolled flat ribbon cable.
• Use terminal emulation software to access the unit, 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1stop bit and no
parity.
NOTE: At any time during the session you need to go to another menu, use the Attention
Character = semi-colon (;). Press the attention character key 5 consecutive times to get back to the main status menu.
NOTE: User Name and Password feature is case sensitive. Default is ‘root/baytech’, If the DS­RPC login is enabled, the default User Name is ‘admin’, password is ‘baytech’ lower case or ‘BTA’ upper case.
