DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL INTRODUCTION TO THE DS-RPC __________________________________________________________________________________________

INTRODUCTION TO THE DS-RPC

BayTech’s DS-RPC provides a single dialup or EIA-232 gateway to multiple EIA-232 devices. Used for accessing remote equipment or simply switching between multiple ports, the DS-RPC provides a full duplex connection between the host and up to 12 peripherals. In a typical application, the host module connects to a local or remote computer, and the peripheral port modules connect to devices such as routers, hubs, servers, and Data Service Units (DSU’s). The DS-RPC is also compatible with other BayTech products including the Remote Power Control (RPC) unit.

DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL INTRODUCTION TO THE DS-RPC __________________________________________________________________________________________

Port selection is accomplished two different ways.

(1) Use a simple menu-driven selection sequence or (2) send an ASCII character string to select a port. The DS-RPC

also has four individual relay controlled, 115 VAC power receptacles. Each receptacle is controlled by sending simple commands from a local or remote location.

The DS2-RPC base unit consists of two slots for a host communications module and a peripheral communications module. The DS4-RPC base unit consists of four slots for a host communications module and up to three peripheral communications modules. Both control the four power outlets, LEDs, non-volatile storage, and data flow between connected modules. The data bus is an internal matrix of high speed serial channels that allows independent and simultaneous transmission of data between modules.

The DS71 host communications module is a system data controller that directs operations between the base unit, system modules, and externally connected devices. The DS71 provides primary user access for systems communications. The DS71-MD2 has a high speed EIA-232 port and an internal modem for remote or local data acquisition and control. The DS74 is a 4-port high speed EIA-232 peripheral communications module that provides bi-directional communications between the host device and a selected peripheral device connected to a DS74 port. The DS74 has selectable serial configuration for baud rate, word size, stop bits, parity, DTR, RTS inactive state and XON/XOFF handshaking for each port.

NOTE: Keep the shipping container and packing material in the event future shipment is required.

DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL INSTALLATION __________________________________________________________________________________________

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION SITE

The installation area should be clean and free of extreme temperatures and humidity. Allow sufficient space behind the unit for cabling.

POWER

CAUTION: This unit is intended for indoor use only. 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 DS-RPC unit unless specifically directed to. 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.

CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any modules, turn off main power switch located on the DS-RPC unit. Communication to the DS-RPC will be disrupted while power is off.

CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any cables or power cords, turn off main power switch located on the DS-RPC. Communication to the unit will be disrupted while power is off.

CAUTION: Do not exceed the AC current rating for the selected model. (See Appendix A “SPECIFICATIONS” for the DS-RPC).

CAUTION: Although the power switch is turned OFF, the unit is not totally isolated from the power supply. In order to be absolutely removed from the power supply, the power cord must be unplugged from the unit.

DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL INSTALLATION __________________________________________________________________________________________

CAUTION: For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED

EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring. For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.

Applying power illuminates a green LED on the front panel of the DSRPC. When the power switch is off, devices connected to the unit are not receiving power.

POWER ON/OFF STATE

Each receptacle is individually controlled by an internal relay. Upon initialization of power, the status of each receptacle will return to the state it was in prior to losing power. For example, if Outlet 1 and Outlet 2 are “ON” and power is removed from the DS-RPC, the status of Outlet 1 and Outlet 2 will return to “ON” when power is restored to the DS-RPC.

POWER UP SEQUENCE

In order to minimize power surges, the DS-RPC sequences power to each outlet in the “ON” state in 0.3-second intervals. When power is applied to the DS-RPC, the initialization sequence requires a delay of 10 seconds before power is available at the service receptacles. Following the 10second delay, the DS-RPC sequences power to each outlet that is turned “ON.” If you choose the option requesting the DS-RPC to reboot all connected equipment, the DS-RPC sequences power to each outlet turned “ON” in 0.1-second intervals.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

In the case of power overload, the circuit breaker automatically trips. Determine the cause of the tripped circuit breaker, correct the problem then reset the circuit breaker by depressing the circuit breaker switch.

DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL CABLING __________________________________________________________________________________________

CABLING

RJ-45 CABLES AND ADAPTERS

IMPORTANT: The DS-RPC host communications modules have

an RJ-45 port which uses an 8-pin crossed modular cable to connect to a local EIA-232 device such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial computers do not have RJ-45 connections; therefore an adapter is provided with this unit to convert from a DE-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector (Bay Tech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-4). An adapter to convert from a DB-25 connector to an RJ-45 connector is also available from Bay Tech, upon request (Bay Tech Part No. 25FRJ45PC-4). The 8-pin crossed modular cable is configured to operate with these adapters.

CAUTION: All power should be removed from the DS-RPC prior to removing or installing cables.

Figures 1 and 2 provide visual representation of an RJ-45 receptacle and plug; pin number assignments are given in Tables 2 and 3.

DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

The following section, “Detailed Operation and Configuration,” provides a detailed approach to accessing, operating, and configuring the DS-RPC.

NOTE: It is important that you type all commands correctly. Any combination of wrong entries results in an error message.

CONNECTING TO THE DS-RPC

EIA-232 SERIAL The DS71 Host Module has an RJ-45 port CONNECTION for connecting to a local EIA-232 device,

such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial computers do not have RJ-45 connections; therefore, an adapter is provided with this unit to convert from a DE-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector (BayTech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-4). If you are connecting to a modem, use a modem adapter (BayTech Part No. 25MRJ45MD-6) and an RJ08X007 8-pin crossed modular cable.

BayTech also manufactures a computer/terminal adapter (BayTech Part No. 25FRJ45PC-4) for converting from a DB-25 connector to an RJ-45 connector.

If you require a different adapter than the one supplied with this unit, contact BayTech’s Applications Engineers.

Using the 9FRJ45PC-4 adapter (or other adapter) and the RJ08X007 crossed modular cable, connect the serial port of your computer to the RJ-45 port labeled EIA-232 on the DS71 or DS71-MD2 module.

DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION __________________________________________________________________________________________

Load serial port communications software. Configure serial communications parameters for the host terminal to match the DS71 or DS71-MD2 module. The DS71 or DS71MD2 modules have factory serial communications parameters of 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, XON/XOFF disabled.

INTERNAL MODEM The DS71-MD2 has a 14.4K bps internal CONNECTION modem for remote access. (DS71-MD2 ONLY)

IMPORTANT: The DS71-MD2 modem option has priority over

the EIA-232 serial port. If a serial port user is in configuration mode or connected to a DS74 I/O port when a modem connection is established, the serial port user will be “booted” off, allowing the remote user to communicate with the DS-RPC.

Using the RJ04X007 (RJ-11) modular cable , connect either port labeled “LINE” on the DS71-MD2 module to the telco wall jack. Using communications software, dial the modem using the ATDT command .

NOTE: Both “LINE” ports are active and either can be used. The second “LINE” port is available for growth.

EXTERNAL MODEM Using the 25MRJ45MD-6 adapter (or other CONNECTION applicable adapter) and the RJ08X007

crossed cable, connect the COM (or serial) port of the modem to the RJ-45 port labeled EIA-232 on the DS71 or DS71-MD2 module. Using an RJ04X007 (RJ-11) modular cable, connect the port labeled “LINE” on the modem to the telco wall jack. Using a communications software package, dial the modem.
