Introduction

to

the DECserver 200

1.1

DECserver 200 Models

The

DEC

server

200

is a full-function, eight-line, Ethernet-based

server

that

provides

the

interface

between

eight

asynchronous

serial

data

communications

channels

and

an

Ethernet

or

IEEE

802.3

local area

network.

There

are

two

models

of

the

DEC

server

200:

model

DSRVB-Ax (DECserver 200/MC)

and

model

DSRVB-Bx

(DECserver

200IDL).

Both

models

are

shown

in

Figure

1-1.

When

references

are

made

to

features

that

are

applicable

to

both

models, this

guide

refers

to

the

model

as DEC

server

200.

•

DECserver 200/MC

(model

DSRVB-Ax*) - Supports

RS-232-C

(EIA232)

connec-

tions

with

full-modem

control

• DEC

server

200/DL

(model

DSRVB-Bx*) -

Supports

devices

that

require

data

leads

only

1.2 Functions of the DECserver 200

The

DECserver 200 allows any combination

of

eight locally attached devices access

to

each

other

and

to

remote

computer

systems

on

a Local Area Transport

(LAT)

network.

Each device is logically

connected

to

the

computer

systems

and

to

their resources. For

a list

of

devices

supported

by

the

DEC

server 200, see Appendix

B.

DECserver 200 offers

the

following features:

• Permits fast, easy connections

between

the

devices attached locally

to

the

server

ports

~nd

the

remote

devices

on

the

network.

• Manages device traffic

and

leaves

computer

systems

more

time for applications

tasks (as

compared

to

traditional character-oriented interfaces, such as

the

DZll).

• Reduces

and

Simplifies cabling required for connecting devices

to a network.

• DECserver 200IMC supports dial-in

and

dial-out modems.

• Provides access

to

Digital

and

to

non-Digital

host

systems

on

the

LAT

network.

You

can

install

the

DECserver 200

in

a variety

of

environments, including offices

and

computer

rooms.

The

server

can

be

placed

on

a desk

or

table,

or

can

be

mounted

in

a

standard rack cabinet. Digital

can

also

provide

you

with

a wall/partition

mounting

bracket

to

mount

the

server directly

onto

an

office wall

or

to

suspend

the

server from

partitioned office walls. This bracket must

be

ordered

separately. See Appendix C for

ordering information.
The

following sections

further

define the features

of

both

models.

1.2.1 DECserver 200/MC (DSRVB-Ax)

The

DECserver

2001MC,

shown

in

Figure

1-2,

supports full-duplex, asynchronous

devices

that

are compatible

with

V.28/RS-232-C (EIA232) standar.ds. These devices
include terminals, printers, modems, personal computers, and host systems. This
model has eight 25-pin connectors

(J

1 throughJ8) for connecting devices

to

each

of

the

server's eight serial-line ports. Each device

is

logically connected (through

the

server

ports)

to

the

computer systems

on

the network

and

their resources. Devices attached

to

another

server can also access personal computers, dial-out modems, printers,

and

host systems that are attached locally

to

1.3 Hardware Installation Overview

Installing

the

DEC

server

200

hardware

consists

of

first connecting

the

server

to

the

Ethernet

network,

then

verifying

the

hardware

installation.

The

device cables are con-

nected

to

the

server after

the

hardware

installation

is

verified.

The

following sections

provide

an

overview

of

the

methods

used

to

complete

the

connections.

NOTE

The

DEC

server

200

is considered operational

when

the

server hard-

ware

is successfully installed,

and

the system installation verification

procedure

is

performed

on

one

DEC

server 200 unit.

The

system com-

prises

the

installed

DEC

server 200 hardware

with

the

DEC

server 200

server software running

on

the

hardware unit. See

the

appropriate

DEC

server 200 Software Installation Guide for details about

the

sys-

tem

verification

procedure.

airspace

around

the

server air vents,

and

place

the

server

on

a desk

or

table

that

is at least 45 centimeters (18 inches) above

the

floor. This

allows adequate ventilation

for

cooling fans

and

reduces

exposure

to

excess dust from

foot

traffic.

NOTE

A wall/partition

mounting

bracket

ki.t

is also available from Digital

that

allows you

to

mount

the

server directly

to

a wall

or

to

suspend it from

partitioned

office walls. Installation instructions are

provided

with

the

kit (see Appendix C for ordering information).

3.2.2 Rack Mount

The

server

can

be rack

mounted

in

a standard rack cabinet.

To

install, refer

to

the

instal-

lation instructions

provided

with

the

rack

mount

kit.

3.2.3

Satellite Equipment Rooms (SER)

The

SER

is a component

o'fDigital's DECconnect System.

It

provides

a central location

for

communications devices (such as DECserver 200s)

that

connect

ThinWire Ethernet

and

twisted-pair cable

to a standard

Ethernet

network.

The

SER

can

also be configured

as

the

center

of

a stand-alone

network,

and

provide

a base

from

Basic

configuration

rules:

1

Maximum

length

for

the

transceiver

cable

cannot

exceed

50

meters

(164

feet).

This

maximum

length

can

be

reduced

due

to

the

internal

cabling

equivalency

of a device

(such

as a DELNI)

that

is

connected

between

the

server

and

the

transceiver,

or

due

to

the

use

of

office

transceiver

cable:

•

Cabling

equivalency

is a

measure

of

the

internal

timing

delay

of a device,

expressed

in

meters

of

transceiver

cable.

This

cabling

equivalency

must

be

sub-

tracted

from

the

50-meter

maximum.

For

example,

if a device

has

as-meter

cabling

equivalency,

then

its

maximum

allowable

transceiver

cable

length

is

(50

m - 5

m)

or

45

meters.

•

Office

transceiver

cable

(BNE4x-xx),

due

to

its

smaller

diameter,

has a signal

loss

that

is

four

times

that

of

the

(BNE3x-xx)

transceiver

cable.

Therefore,

if

office

transceiver

cable

is

used,

the

maximum

transceiver

cable

distance

must

be

divided

by

4.

This

means-

the

maximum

office

transceiver

cable

length

allowed

is

12.5

meters

* .

*BNE3x-xx transceiver cable and BNE4x-xx office transceiver cable can be interconnected.

However, the cable attenuation (signal loss) for

the

office transceiver cable

is

greater than that

of

BNE3x-xx transceiver cable by a factor

of

four. For example, 2 meters,

6.6

feet,

of

office trans-

ceiver cable

is

electrically equivalent

to

8 meters, 26.2 feet, ofBNE3x-xx transceiver cable.

Site Preparations

3-3

If

the

configuration includes a device

and

the

device has

any

internal cabling equiv-

alency' this

should

be

subtracted from

the

50-meter maximum before dividing

by

4. For example,

if

a device has a 10-meter cabling equivalency

and

is

attached

to

its

transceiver using office transceiver cable,

then

the

maximum allowable transceiver

length

is

(50 m - 10 m)/4

or

10 meters.

2

When

connecting

the

server

to

a configuration

that

includes a DELNI, allow

5-meters cabling equivalency loss for

the

DELNI.

3 Maximum allowable lengths for device cables should

not

exceed

guidelines

set

bv

RS-232-C

(EIA232) specifications.

1 Make sure

the

transceiver cable connections are secure at

both

ends

of

the

cable.

If

the transceiver cable is

not

c<;>nnect(!d

when

you plug

in

the

power

cord,

the

server

will

fail the diagnostic self-test.

2 Check

with

your

system manager that the software installation and the server con-

figuration are complete. For example, the distribution software

is

installed

onthe

load host(s), and

the

DECserver

200

is

configured

in

the

load host database,

if

required

by

the

load host(s).

4-6

NOTE

If

the

distribution software installation is

not

complete, the load

host

cannot send

the

server image

to

the

server. The server does

not

oper-

ate without software. Wait for notification

that

the

software installa-

tion

is

completed.

the server image

to

be down-line loaded from a load host.

The

server self-test will fail

if

the

transceiver cable

is

not

connected.

To

connect

the

server

power

cord, proceed

as

follows:

1

Plug

one

end

of

the

4.6 Verifying Operation

Proper operation

of

the

server is verified

by

the

status

of

the

four Light Emitting Diodes

(LEOs)

on

the

server's control/indicator panel.

Whenever

power

is applied

to

the

unit,

the

server performs a diagnostic self-test

and

initiates a request for a down-line load

of

the

server image from a load host.

The

server

self-test normally takes about

20 seconds

to

complete,

but

the

down-line loading

of

the

server image could take longer

if

the

network

is

busy.

Allow up

to

2 minutes for

the

server self-test and down-line loading

of

the

server image

to

complete,

then

compare the state

of

the

four status

LEDs

on

the

server

with

those

shown

Introduction

This

chapter

helps

you

identify

and

correct

problems

that

can

be

encountered

during

the

initial installation

of

the

OECserver 200.

The

troubleshooting procedures are for

diagnosing

and

correcting

hardware

related problems only.

After diagnosing

and

correcting

the

problem,

return

to

Section

4.6

to

verify

the

correct

operation

of

the

server,

then

continue

with

the

installation.

NOTE

Notify

the

server manager if

the

troubleshooting procedures indicate

the

problem

is

software related

or

if

the

procedures

do

not

correct

the

problem. Additional troubleshooting information

is

provided

in

the

DEC

server

200

Management

Guide.

5.2 Diagnosing Server Problems

The

four status LEOs,

located

on

the

server's control/indicator panel, indicate

the

status

of

the

server

and

are

also used for diagnosing server problems. Compare

the

state

of

the

status

LEOs

on

the

server

with

those

shown

in Table

5-1

and

go

to

the

section

indicated.

NOTE

All four status

LEOs

illuminate for 1

second

(lamp check)

whenever

you

power

up

the

server from a

power-off

state. After

powering

up

the

server, allow

up

to

2 minutes

to

elapse before determining

the

state

of

the

status LEOs.

Problem

There is a fault

in

the

transceiver cabling between

the

server and

the

coaxial cable.

Correction

First, check

the

transceiver cable that runs from

tbe

server

to

the transceiver,

to

the

DELNI,

or

to

the

Etherjack. Ensure the"connec-

tion

is secure

at

both

ends

of

the

cable. Check the cable for any signs

of

damage.

If

the

cable appears damaged, replace it.

Correction

If

the

above actions

do

not

correct

the

problem, use

the

Ethernet loopback

connector

When

using

the

Ethernet loopback

connector

to

troubleshoot

the

DECserver 200,

if

the

results

cause

the

D2

LED

to

glow steadily,

the

server

attempts

to

down-line load the server image. Since

the

server

is

disconne~ted
