Safety Precautions
English
Be sure to take the following safety precautions during installation and maintenance of
the Freeway communications server:
• Observe the warnings and directions printed on the Freeway server and its asso-
ciated equipment.
• Check the electrical rating label on the Freeway chassis. Be sure that the voltage
and frequency of your power source match this rating.
• The Freeway server must be plugged into a grounded, three-wire power outlet.
Do not use an adapter that permits a three-wire electrical cord to be plugged into
a two-wire power outlet.
• Use appropriately rated extension cords or power strips only.
• To ensure proper cooling, always operate the Freeway server with its covers in
place. Do not cover or block any of the openings on the Freeway chassis. Do not
place the unit near a heater.
• Do not insert objects through openings in the Freeway chassis. Doing so could
result in a short circuit that might cause a fire or an electric shock.
• Do not modify the Freeway equipment in any way. Simpact, Inc. is not responsi-
ble for regulatory compliance of any Freeway communications server that has
been modified. Altering the Freeway enclosure in any way other than the installa-
tion of Simpact-provided options may invalidate Freeway’s safety certifications.

Hardware Installation
These are
generally the
same:
3100/3150,
3200/7200
This chapter describes how to set up the Freeway communications server and connect
it to the network.
Step 1:
Review the safety guidelines in the “Safety Precautions” section on page 15.
Step 2:
Place your Freeway in the selected location. It can be installed in any standard 19-inch
rack. It can also be set on a table top where it will occupy about three square feet. There
should be room to set a monitor nearby and enough clearance to ensure that the air
vents will not be blocked.
The Freeway has an autoranging power supply to accommodate different voltages and
frequencies (100 to 120 VAC, 200 to 240 VAC: 50 to 60 Hz). The Freeway 1200 must be
near one grounded, three-wire electrical outlet and the Freeway 1300 must be near two
outlets. Because the Freeway 1300 has dual independent hot-swappable power supplies,
you may want the outlets to be on separate circuits or feeds. Appendix C describes how
to replace a power supply.
The Freeway must also be near the LAN and WAN connectors that will be plugged into
it.

2: Hardware Installation
Note
You do not have to wear the anti-static strap while connecting
Freeway to the network, but it should be kept with the unit for
future use when you are making upgrades to the system that
require access to the inside of the enclosure.
The carton may also contain other documentation. If anything is missing, contact your
Simpact customer service representative at 1-800-275-3889.
Note
Keep the original box and packing material. To avoid damage
during shipment, use the original box and packing material when
shipping your Freeway.
Step 4:
You must supply the following:
• Ethernet local area network (10BaseT or 100BaseT)
• Computer running TCP/IP and FTP or RSH to be used as a boot server
• VT100-compatible terminal or terminal emulator if you will be using a local
console to configure the boot parameters and perform the initial system boot
• Cables for connecting Freeway to the LAN and WAN
• Synchronous modem for loopback testing described in the Freeway Loopback Test

ing with the 10/100BaseT specification.
Caution
Alert your system administrator before making connections to
your LAN. To avoid a disruption of service on your LAN, carefully
plan how you will make the connections. We recommend that you
power off the Freeway server and modem during cable installation
and removal.
Check with your system administrator to find out what type of cable is used at your site.
You may need to use a mini-hub to convert from 10BaseT to 10Base2 or 10Base5.
(100BaseT always uses the RJ-45 connector.) You can obtain the necessary equipment
and cables from a computer accessory vendor.

Step 8:
Make sure that the power switch on the front panel is off, then connect the ICP boards
to your wide area network.
Caution
We recommend that you power off the Freeway server and modem
during cable installation and removal. This will prevent damage to
an ICP due to electrical discharge as contact is made or broken.
Figure 2–5 shows an example Freeway 1200 hardware configuration. The Freeway 1200
has ten PCI slots used by up to eight ICP2432 boards, an optional PCI interface board,
and an optional secondary Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC); one CPU slot; and
four unused ISA slots. In this example, ICP 0 through ICP 5 are four-port or eight-port
boards and ICP 6 and ICP 7 are two-port boards.

2: Hardware Installation
The order of the PCI boards in the Freeway is arbitrary. The order shown in Figure 2–5
for the Freeway 1200 and Figure 2–6 for the Freeway 1300 matches the standard config-
uration shown in the boot configuration file, which is also the standard order of the
boards as installed by Simpact.
If your configuration has more than one ICP board, the boards are always numbered
from right to left when looking at the back of the Freeway. The two slots closest to the
CPU board are reserved for an optional second Ethernet board or other optional PCI
interface board. ICP 0 is the next board. The two-port board has two separate 26-pin
high-density connectors; port 0 is the top connector and port 1 is the bottom connec-
tor. Both the four-port and the eight-port boards have the same 100-pin high-density
connector. The four-port board uses a “quadrapus” (one-to-four) cable to attach four
DB25 or DB37 connectors to the 100-pin connector. The eight-port board uses an
“octopus” (one-to-eight) cable to attach eight DB25 connectors to the 100-pin connec-
tor. Port numbers are identified on the terminating ends of the quadrapus or octopus
cable.
Step 9:
Plug the power cord into the power input socket on the Freeway’s back panel and into
an AC electrical outlet near your Freeway.
Step 10:
Perform the software installation procedures on your boot server as described in the
Freeway User Guide.
Step 11:
Configure the boot parameters. There are two ways to do this. You can use the boot
parameter initialization disk as described in Chapter 3 or you can attach a local console
to your Freeway as described in Chapter 4.

Chapter
Configuring the Boot
3
Parameters using the
Initialization Disk
This chapter describes how to use the boot parameter initialization disk to configure the
boot parameters and boot the Freeway server. You can boot the Freeway from a boot
server attached to the local area network or from the Freeway’s hard or flash drive. If
you are booting from a boot server, it is assumed that:
1. You have performed the hardware installation procedures described in Chapter 2.
2. You know which protocol you will be installing on your boot server (for example,
BSC2780/3780, FMP, or X.25). The protocol is indicated on the label of the
software distribution media.
Note
If you are installing more than one protocol, it is best to perform
the software installation (described in the Freeway User Guide)
and loopback verification testing (described in the Freeway Loop-
back Test Procedures) for one protocol before attempting to customize your Freeway system for multiple protocols.
Item 2 is in
FW docs only;
you don’t even
have to edit
load files for
SR.
3. The system administrator has set up a file transfer protocol (FTP) or remote shell
(RSH) user name and password on the boot server to match the FTP user name
and the FTP password in the Freeway system boot parameters. The default FTP
user name is

and the default FTP password is pp
ppaaaasssssssswwwwoooorrrrdddd
.
Page 44

You can change the default FTP user name and FTP password that the Freeway
uses by changing the corresponding boot parameters on the Freeway system. If
you do, remember that you must also change the user name and password of the
FTP account on the boot server.
4. The system administrator has assigned the following device names and addresses

• Boot server name and Internet address
• Gateway Internet address (if applicable)
The procedure for configuring the boot parameters is the same for UNIX, VMS, and
Windows NT systems. Freeway obtains the boot parameters from local non-volatile
memory during system boot. Therefore, when you configure the boot parameters in the
following steps, all applicable parameters must be configured.
Step 1:

3: Configuring the Boot Parameters using the Initialization Disk
Step 3:
Save the file to the floppy disk, then remove the floppy disk from the PC.
Step 4:
Insert the initialization disk in the Freeway’s floppy drive. Turn on the power. The boot
parameters you configured in the
bootparm.txt file are copied to local non-volatile
memory.
If the boot parameters were entered correctly, the following message is printed to the
copylog.txt file on the disk and the Freeway boots:
Boot parameters copied from floppy disk successfully.
The boot image performs rudimentary error checking on some of the parameters to
verify that the values provided are of the correct format for the parameter type, but
otherwise simply writes the parameters into the
error checking detects a problem, a message is printed to the
NVRAM.txt file exactly as provided. If

Freeway repeatedly attempts to boot, reading the parameters from the floppy disk and
failing until it is powered off. If an undetected error occurs (for example, a critical
parameter missing or misspelled in the
cessful copying of the parameters to the disk will be printed to the
bootparm.txt file), a message indicating suc-
copylog.txt file, but
Freeway will continue to boot without success.
If Freeway attempts to boot for several minutes (as can be detected by its beeping and
accessing the floppy drive), assume that there is a problem with the boot parameters or
the network connection. Turn off the Freeway server and remove the floppy disk. Insert
the boot parameter initialization disk in the PC again and review the boot parameters
on the disk to be sure they are set correctly for your Freeway’s configuration.
DC 900-1537B 49
Page 50
Freeway 1200/1300 Hardware Installation Guide
Step 5:
After Freeway boots successfully, remove the initialization disk from the floppy drive.
Note
After the initial system boot, you can telnet or rlogin to Freeway
from the boot server (or from any other computer on the network)
and use the Freeway Interactive Menu for Freeway operations as
described in the Freeway User Guide.
You can use the Freeway Interactive Menu to modify the boot parameters. If, however,
Freeway is booted with the boot parameter initialization disk in the floppy drive, any
boot parameters that were modified using the Freeway menu will be overwritten by the
values in the
bootparm.txt file on the initialization disk.
Step 6:
Run the loopback test to check the hardware and software installation as described in
the Freeway Loopback Test Procedures.
Step 7:
If Freeway will normally boot from the boot server, installation is complete. If Freeway
will boot from its local disk, you must download the files from the boot server onto the
local disk. Follow the instructions in the Build Hard Disk from Boot Server section in
the Freeway User Guide.

Chapter
Configuring the Boot
4
Parameters using the
Local Console
This chapter describes how to use the local console to configure the boot parameters
and boot Freeway. You can boot Freeway from a boot server attached to the local area
network or from Freeway’s hard or flash drive. If you are booting from a boot server, it
is assumed that:
1. You have performed the hardware installation procedures described in Chapter 2.
2. You know which protocol you will be installing on your boot server (for example,
BSC2780/3780, FMP, or X.25). The protocol is indicated on the label of the
software distribution media.
Note
If you are installing more than one protocol, it is best to perform
the software installation (described in the Freeway User Guide)
and loopback verification testing (described in the Freeway Loop-
back Test Procedures) for one protocol before attempting to customize your Freeway system for multiple protocols.
Item 2 is in
FW docs only;
you don’t even
have to edit
load files for
SR.
3. The system administrator has set up a file transfer protocol (FTP) or remote shell
(RSH) user name and password on the boot server to match the FTP user name
and the FTP password in the Freeway system boot parameters. The default FTP
user name is
DC 900-1537B 51
ffffrrrreeeeeeeewwwwaaaayy
yy
and the default FTP password is pp
ppaaaasssssssswwwwoooorrrrdddd
.
Page 52
Freeway 1200/1300 Hardware Installation Guide
You can change the default FTP user name and FTP password that Freeway uses
by changing the corresponding boot parameters on the Freeway. If you do,
remember that you must also change the user name and password of the FTP
account on the boot server.
4. The system administrator has assigned the following device names and addresses
in the UNIX
your VMS TCP/IP package:
/etc/hosts file, the Windows NT hosts or lmhosts file, or using
• Freeway name and Internet address
• Boot server name and Internet address
• Gateway Internet address (if applicable)
The procedure for configuring the Freeway system boot parameters is the same for
UNIX, VMS, and Windows NT systems. Freeway obtains the boot parameters from
local non-volatile memory during system boot. Therefore, when you configure the boot
parameters in the following steps, all applicable parameters must be configured.
Step 1:
Connect a VT100-compatible terminal or terminal emulator to Freeway using the cable
supplied with your Freeway that has both a 9-pin and a 25-pin connector at each end.
Connect the 9-pin connector on one end of the cable to the console connector on the
Freeway’s back panel. For the location of this connector, see Figure 2–3 on page 36 for
the Freeway 1200 or Figure 2–4 on page 37 for the Freeway 1300. Connect the 25-pin
connector on the other end of the cable to the VT100-compatible terminal or emulator
that you want to use as a console.
You will use this terminal or emulator as a console to configure the boot parameters and
perform the initial system boot. Later you can disconnect the terminal or emulator
because you can then perform these configuration functions using telnet or rlogin
through any terminal or workstation connected to the network.

4: Configuring the Boot Parameters using the Local Console
Step 2:
Configure the console terminal to operate with the following communications param-
eters:
• 9600 bits per second
• 8 bits data
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• xon/xoff enabled
Step 3:
Turn the power switch on the front panel on.
Step 4:
When prompted on the console screen, press <return> within 7 seconds to prevent the
autoboot attempt. The Freeway Boot System Main Menu shown in Figure 4–1 appears.
Note
The Freeway Boot System Main Menu is only accessible using the
local console connected to the rear of the Freeway unit. Later you
can access these same functions from any remote console using the
Freeway Interactive Menu as described in the Freeway User

Temperature LED This LED shows the status of the interior chassis environment
temperature. The valid settings are 35° C, 45° C, 55° C, and
65° C. The default temperature set at the factory is 45° C. A
solid green LED indicates that the temperature is equal to or
less than the selected value. A blinking red LED indicates a fault
condition; that is, the temperature is greater than the selected
value. The audible alarm is activated when the LED is blinking
red during a fault condition.
Chassis Fan
Status LEDs
These LEDs show the status of the chassis fans. FAN LED 1
monitors the fans in the front panel fan tray. Fan LED 2 moni-
tors the fan mounted below the ISA/PCI backplane and to the
rear of the SCA backplane. A solid green LED indicates that all
fan motors are rotating. A blinking red LED indicates a fault
condition. The audible alarm is activated when the LED is
blinking red during a fault condition.
Power Supply
Voltages LEDs
These LEDs show the status of the power supply voltages. The
+5, +12, and +3.3 volt DC outputs from the power supplies are
monitored. Nominal conditions are +/- 5% for the +5 and +3.3
volt supplies and +/- 10% for the +12 volt supply. A solid green
LED indicates a nominal condition. A red LED indicates a fault
condition. The audible alarm is activated when the LED is red
during a fault condition.
Drive LEDs These LEDs show the status of the hard drives. A green LED
64 DC 900-1537B
indicates drive access for read or write activity. A dark LED
indicates no activity or no drive installed.
Page 65
B: Freeway 1300 LED Panel and Alarm Functions
When an audible alarm is heard, check the LED indicator panel to determine the source
of the fault condition. If the fault condition is a fan, temperature, or voltage out of tol-
erance condition, you should schedule a maintenance shutdown as appropriate to cor-
rect the fault.
If all indicators on the LED panel are green and the alarm is sounding, one of the power
supplies is defective. The red LED that is illuminated on the rear of the Freeway indi-
cates which of the two power supplies must be replaced. Appendix C describes how to
replace a power supply.

Replacing the Power Supply
C
The Freeway 1300 has optional dual independent hot-swappable power supplies with
separate AC feeds, designed to be easily replaced in the field. An audible alarm indicates
a power supply failure. The red power supply FAULT LED illuminated on the rear of the
Freeway shows which supply has failed (see Figure 2–4 on page 37).
To replace one of the power supplies while the system remains up, use the following
procedure:
1. Slip the anti-static strap around your wrist and attach the alligator clip to any bare
metal area of the Freeway cabinet.
2. On the power supply to be replaced, turn the power switch off, then unplug the
power cord.
in a Freeway 1300
3. Loosen the four Phillips screws in the outer corners of the power supply, then
remove the power supply completely from the cabinet.
Note
Do not pull the power supply part way out, then reinsert it.
Doing so may damage the power supply because the stored energy
will not have had time to dissipate completely.

4. Make sure the power switch on the new power supply is turned off, then push the
power supply firmly into place to ensure that all of the contacts at the rear of the
supply are properly inserted without any momentary makes and breaks which
could cause it to fail.
5. Tighten the screws to hold the new power supply in place.
6. Plug in the power cord, then turn the power switch on the power supply on.
If both power supplies are to be replaced, or if the system can be shut down to replace
one power supply, use the following procedure:
1. Inform all users that you will be shutting down the Freeway and they should stop
any devices that are currently sending messages to it.
2. After the client applications have terminated, select the ‘Logout’ option in the
Interactive Menu.
3. Slip the anti-static strap around your wrist and attach the alligator clip to any bare
metal area of the Freeway cabinet.
4. Power down the Freeway by opening the front door, then pressing the power
switch on the front panel off.
5. Power down each power supply on the rear of the cabinet by pressing the power
switch off.
