1.1 Hardware Installation  
1. The MAC address is printed on a label afxed to the back of the unit  
above the LAN connector socket (see Figure 2). This address will be  
used as a Unit ID to distinguish different ESP units on the network.  
Record the MAC address.  
00 - 80 - 7D - _____ - _____ - _____  
2. Attach a 10BaseT or 100BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN  
connector on the back of the ESP. A CAT 5 cable is required for  
100BaseT operation.  
3. Power on the ESP by connecting the power cable to a power source.  
WARNING:Thepoweroutletshouldbeinstalledneartheequipmentand  
shouldbeeasilyaccessible.  
4. Install the ESP driver using the instructions in Section 2 for your  
target operating system.  
5. Install or upgrade to EquiView Plus version 5.1 or higher from the  
Equinox SuperSerial Software CD. EquiView Plus will help manage  
ESP units on various networks.  
IftheESPfailstoboot...  
The ESP is very robust and there are few errors that can prevent the unit  
from correctly initializing and going online. However, if an error does  
occur, the ONLINE LED will blink a repeating pattern with discernible  
pauses. Count the number of blinks between pauses and make a note of  
this value. When you contact Technical Support, this information will help  
determine the cause of the initialization failure.

1.4 INIT and RESET Buttons  
The INIT button can be used to remove configured information from an  
ESP unit. The ESP stores nonvolatile data such as SNMP community  
name, system contact and IP address in FLASH. This information can be  
erased by pressing the INIT button.  
NOTE:PressingtheINITbuttonwillinterruptESPoperationandcause  
reinitializationtooccur.  
The FLASH erase is performed in two phases. The first phase erases the  
configuration database, which contains all nonvolatile data except the IP  
address. The second phase erases the IP address and effectively restores  
the ESP to factory default. This feature can be used to erase the FLASH  
when the ESP is being reinstalled elsewhere on your network.  
When the INIT button is first pressed, the ONLINE LED will begin to  
blink to confirm that you have pressed the INIT button. Pressing and  
holding the button for five seconds erases the configuration database in  
the ESP FLASH. When the database has been erased, the ONLINE LED  
begins to flash rapidly. If you release the INIT button before the five  
second mark, no action is taken, and the ESP does not reinitialize.  
If the button is pressed and held for an additional five seconds, the IP  
address is also erased.  
If any portion of the FLASH is erased, the ESP will reboot itself when  
the INIT button is released.  
The RESET button can be used to reset the ESP. Pushing this button will  
cause an immediate reboot.

Section 2 - Driver Installation  
This section contains instructions for installing the ESP driver from the  
Equinox SuperSerial CD-ROM. The ESP is supported under Windows  
2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 3.51, OpenServer 5.0.5a or higher,  
UnixWare 7.0.1a or higher, Linux and AIX 4.3 and 5.1.  
2.1 Windows 2000  
To install the Windows 2000 ESP driver, you must first run SETUP.EXE  
from the Windows 2000 ESP driver diskette that is made using the  
Equinox SuperSerial CD-ROM. SETUP.EXE will install the necessary  
Device Manager files for the ESP. Insert the diskette into your A: drive, set  
your default drive to A: and run SETUP.  
The Windows 2000 ESP driver is installed when you install the first ESP.  
1. Navigate to Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove New Hardware.  
2. From the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard, select Add/troubleshoot a  
device.  
3. Windows 2000 will search for new Plug and Play hardware on your  
computer. ESP devices are network-attached and are not located by the  
Add New Hardware Wizard. A list of devices that can be installed will  
be displayed. Select Add a new device.  
4. From the Find New Hardware page, select No, I want to select the  
hardware from a list.  
5. A list of hardware types will be displayed. Select Multi-port serial  
adapters.  
6. Windows 2000 will ask you to select a device driver. Highlight  
Equinox Systems Inc., select Equinox Ethernet Serial Provider / Have  
Disk and point the Wizard to your A: drive.  
7. From the Select a Device Driver page, again select Equinox Ethernet  
Serial Provider.  
8. The Wizard will locate an ESP on your server’s local subnet and  
display information about that ESP. If your ESP does not yet have an  
IP address, you must enter the IP address, then click Next.  
9. The Wizard will display the ESP conguration for nal verication. If  
the IP address you assigned is correct, click Next.  
10. The Wizard will now copy les from the Windows 2000 ESP driver  
diskette. During this process, the Equinox ESP driver le is examined  
for a Microsoft digital signature. If the ESP driver is not signed, a  
warning message is displayed. To continue the installation, read the  
warning and then click Yes.  
If you click No, the installation will terminate and the ESP will not be  
installed on your server.  
 
9 EquinoxESPMulti-InterfaceSerialHubProductInstallationGuide  
11. Once all les are copied, click Finish.  
Your ESP is now installed. Windows 2000 will now install the ESP serial  
ports.  
2.2 Windows NT 4.0  
1. Navigate to Settings - Control Panel - Network to display the  
Network Control Panel. Select the Services tab. Click Add to install  
the ESP driver for Windows NT 4.0.  
2. The Control Panel will generate a list of standard Network Services.  
The Equinox ESP Service is a new network service. Click the Have  
Disk button.  
3. The Control panel will ask you to enter the pathname for the disk that  
contains the ESP Service installation les.  
a) If you are installing from diskette, enter the drive letter of the  
diskette drive.  
b) If you are installing from the Equinox SuperSerial CD, enter  
the pathname D:\DRIVERS\ESP\NT, where D: is your CD-ROM  
drive letter.  
c) If you have stored the driver on the NT system or on a network  
drive, enter the full pathname for the location of the Equinox  
ESP Service.  
4. The Control Panel will copy les from the specied path to the  
required NT system directories. Once the copy is complete and the  
driver is installed, the Control Panel will automatically start the  
Equinox ESP Service. It will also start the ESP Installation Wizard  
and attempt to locate ESP units on all local subnets.  
Using the Installation Wizard, you can:  
Discover and install ESP units on local or remote subnets  
Congure ESP units and assign COM port numbers  
Replace an ESP unit on a local or remote subnet  
See the online help in the ESP Installation Wizard for more information  
about ESP Discovery and Installation.  
2.3 Windows NT 3.51  
1. From the Main Program Group, double-click Control Panel -  
Network.  
2. A list of currently installed services is displayed. At the end of the list  
is an entry named <Other>. Select this entry and click Continue.  
3. Follow Steps 3 and 4 from Section 2.2.
