This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

There are two ground
connectors on the front

One is located at the
middle pin of the power
input, the other is beside
the power input. Use either
connector for grounding.

Note that it takes approxima tely five minutes for the system to get
ready. Once the system is ready, the Ready LED will light up.

Connecting to the MAR-2000

There are three ways to connect the MAR-2000 to a PC: through
the MAR-2000 management web page, the serial console port, or
by SSH over the network. The COM settings for the serial console
port are: Baudrate=115200 bps, Parity=None, Data bits=8,

Stop bits =1, Flow Control=None.

ATTENTION

Remember to choose the

VT100 terminal type. T

o connect

a PC to

the serial console, use the CBL-4PINDB9F-100

cable that shipp ed with your MAR- 2000.

To use SSH and the MAR-2000 management web page, you will
need to know the MAR-2000’s IP address and netmask. The default
LAN settings are shown below. For initial configuration, you may
find it convenient to use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect
directly from the PC to the MAR-2000.
