or a dedicated access router
• Appropriate cables to connect your modem/TA to the ePipe.
(Two RJ45 to DB25 cables are included. For additional modem cables, Stallion

➍ Software Setup
There are two main ways of configuring your ePipe for use:
Option A Windows Wizard Setup (recommended).
Option B Command Line Setup using the ePipe console port.
Option A - Windows Wizard Setup
To start the Software Setup phase using the setup wizard, you need to ensure your PC is
turned on and connected to the network. The Windows PC will need to have TCP/IP
network drivers installed and operational.
To start the software setup:
• Insert the Software & Documentation CD-
ROM into the CD drive of the PC.
• The CD-ROM will auto-start (Figure 2). If auto-
start is disabled, from the Start Menu of your
PC select Run then Browse to your CD drive.
Select autorun.exe at the prompt and click
OK to start.
• Select “Find ePipe / EasyServer II” from the
options and follow the instructions.
Option B - Command Line Setup
Note: Configuring the ePipe using the console will require some knowledge and familiarity
of ePipe and networking concepts in general.
To configure the ePipe from the console:
• Connect a terminal or PC to the ePipe console port using the console cable. If using
a PC then you will need terminal emulation software. Windows users can use
HyperTerminal (in Accessories)
• Set the terminal or emulation software at a speed of 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, no parity and software (XON/XOFF) flow control. Once you connect, then press
the Enter key to obtain a login prompt.
• You are now ready to use the Command Line. See the ePipe documentation on the
CD-ROM for further instructions.

♦ (Optional) Connect the supplied console cable to the DB9 console port on the ePipe
and to a DB9 serial port on your PC or terminal. This is only required if ePipe setup
is performed using the console instead of the supplied software (see Software Setup
section) or if the ePipe is connected to a non-Windows network.
♦ Power up the ePipe using the power supply provided.
