My XYPLEX MAXserver 1600 Terminal Server config notes.
This is alot of peices I have pulled together to get my Maxserver 1600
(16port) working for my CCIE LAB rack. Since the Terminal server is not part
of the lab I need to spend my money on thing like ISDN
hardware. I was not able to find any instruction that let me put this config
behind me quickly. Since we need to focus our time working on CCIE lab task
(not the mysteries of Xplex Terminal server configs). I have put thess
instruction/notes together.

Setting An MX-1600, MX-1608 or MX-1450 To Factory Defaults
Straighten a paper clip and press into the pin-size hole next to console LED
on the front panel of the
unit. All LEDs on the front of the unit will light up.
Press the paper clip in again and hold it in for 3-5 seconds. The LEDs will
light up in a sweeping fashion
from right to left, then left to right. When this sweeping stops, there will
be 2 or 3 LEDS to the right
lit, at this point release the paper clip.
The LEDs will light up in a countdown pattern to 1 (diagnostic test
pattern). Then they will all go out and
the RUN light will be flashing very fast. You should have a terminal
attached to one of the serial ports on
the back of the unit. Press the ENTER key several times for the port to
autobaud. You will see a text
display similar to this:
Terminal Server, Type 97, Rev G.00.00
Ethernet address 08-00-87-05-A1-16, port 2
