Connection Description
BayTech's host communication module provides an interface that controls user access to the DS Series
data switch and other DS Series connected modules.
EIA-232 SERIAL CONNECTION
The DS-Series host communications modules have an RJ-45 port which uses an 8-pin crossed modular
cable to connect to a local EIA-232 device such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial
computers do not have RJ-45 connections; therefore an adapter is provided with this unit to convert
from a DE-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector (Bay Tech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-4). An adapter to convert
from a DB-25 connector to an RJ-45 connector is also available from Bay Tech, upon request (Bay
Tech Part No. 25FRJ45PC-4). The 8-pin crossed modular cable is configured to operate with these
adapters.
Internal MODEM CONNECTION
A Flash upgradeable 56 Kbps (V.90bis) modem allows standard dial-up telephone lines to be used
between the Data Switch installation and the user's location.
IMPORTANT: The DS62-MD4 modem option has priority over the EIA-232 serial port. If a serial
port user is in configuration mode or connected to a DS74 I/O port when a modem connection is
established, the serial port user will be “booted” off, allowing the remote user to communicate with the
DS unit. Using the RJ04X007 (RJ-11) modular cable, connect to “LINE” on the DS62-MD4 module to
the Telco wall jack. Using communications software, dial the modem using the ATDT command.
10/100 BASE-T NETWORK PORT CONNECTION
Using a straight 10/100 Base-T cable, connect the RJ-45 port labeled ETHERNET on the HOST
module to an RJ-45 port on the network hub. The LINK (link integrity) LED, located on the front
panel of the HOST, illuminates when a good connection is established between the HOST and the hub.
Installation
UNPACKING
Compare the unit and serial number of the equipment you received to the packing slip located on the
outside of the box. Inspect equipment carefully for damage that may have occurred in shipment. If
there is damage to the equipment or if materials are missing, contact BayTech technical support at 228-
563-7334 or call toll free inside the United States at 800-523-2702. At a minimum, you should receive
the following:
1. The Host Module and DS74 Modules.
2. Manual insert describing the location of the User’s Guide on BayTech’s website at
www.baytech.net.
3. Power Cords that may be attached to the unit (if order requested detachable cords).
4. 1 ea. DE-9 (9 pin) PC com port adapter -- 9FRJ45PC (with Cisco Interface) or 9FRJ45PC-1.
5. 1 ea. RJ-45 Roll over cable -- RJ08X007.
NOTE: Keep the shipping container and packing material in the event future shipment is
required.

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION SITE
The installation area should be clean and free of extreme temperatures and humidity. Allow sufficient
space behind the DS unit for cabling and receptacle connections. Access to installation site should be
restricted to authorized personnel. Installation of these units should be limited to ITE and Telco server
environments.
Power
CAUTION: This unit is intended for indoor use only. Do not install near water or expose this
unit to moisture. To prevent heat buildup, do not coil the power cord when in use. Do not use
extension cords. Do not attempt to make any internal changes to the power source. Do not
attempt to modify any portion or component of a DS-Series Data Switch unless specifically
directed to; as in Appendix E of this manual. BayTech must perform any internal changes.
CAUTION: High-voltage surges and spikes can damage this equipment. To protect from such
power surges and spikes, this unit must have a good earth ground. A grounding screw
connection is located near the power switch on the back of the unit.
CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any modules, turn off main power switch located on
the DS-Series Base Unit. Communication to the DS-Series Data Switch will be disrupted while
power is off.
CAUTION: For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible
disconnect device (Circuit Breaker rated not to exceed the amperage rating of the unit) shall be
incorporated in the fixed wiring between the power source and the Baytech unit. For
PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily
accessible and shall provide back up protection against over current and short circuit by
suitable rated protective devices not to exceed the AC current rating for the selected model
QUICK START: HOST Module
by Bay Technical Associates
For those Administrators who have requested the bare minimum for this type of equipment, follow
these steps exactly. If this is a new unit shipped directly from Baytech, follow the steps. If this is a
previously own unit, perform a factory reset to clear out any users and passwords still in the unit.
Ethernet Controller Configuration:
Before continuing your System Administrator needs to tell you to use DHCP or give you an IP
Address, Subnet Address, and Gateway Address.
1. Connect the 9FRJ45PC-4 or 9FRJ45PC-1 adapter to your PC.
2. Connect the supplied rollover flat cable RJ08X007 to the adapter and to the EIA232 serial port
on the Baytech HOST Module.
3. Use terminal emulation software to access the unit, (i.e. Microsoft Hyper-terminal). Set the PC
serial port configuration to the following: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1stop bit and no parity.
4. If you get only a blinking cursor Press ‘Enter’. If still only a blinking cursor, Type 5 semi-colons
(;), The Attention Character will not echo on the screen. There is a one second delay before
the menu is displayed. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 1).

5. Select ‘C’ for the configuration menu.
6. Select the HOST module. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 2).
7. Select the number for ‘Login Setup’ option. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 3).
8. Select the number for ‘Manage Users’ option. You should see a menu similar to (Figure 4).
9. NOTE: The ‘root’ user can not be deleted.
10. Select ‘A’ to add user. Type the name and password at the prompts.
11. Press ‘Enter’ until get to the ‘Login Setup Menu’ (Figure 3).
12. Select option ‘Access Control’ to enable or disable the Tenet and Serial Login Prompt.

15. If your System Administrator requires you to use DHCP, then select ‘DHCP Enable/Disable’
and type ‘Y’ to enable DHCP. If you wish to assign a static IP address to this unit, disable the
DHCP and go to step 18.
16. Press ‘Enter’ until you are asked to ‘Accept Changes’. Type ‘Y’ to accept changes or ‘N’ to
decline changes.
17. After Accepting or Declining Changes Pres ‘Enter ‘ until you get the Network Access Menu
(Figure 1).
18. Select ‘Unit reset’ to update the external connections. Once the reset is completed (1 minute)
connect the Baytech device to your network using an Ethernet cable.
19. If you disabled the DHCP in step 15, you should see a menu similar to (Figure 5).
20. Select the ‘IP Address’ option and type the assigned IP address and press ‘Enter’.
21. Select the ‘Subnet Mask’ option and type the assigned subnet mask address and press
‘Enter’.
22. Select the ‘Gateway Address’ option and type the assigned Gateway address and press
‘Enter’.
23. Press ‘Enter’ until you are asked to ‘Accept Changes’. Type ‘Y’ to accept changes.
24. Press ‘Enter’ until you get the Network Access Menu, (Figure 1).
