➍➍
➍Software 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.

➌Connecting the Hardware
ePipe 2202 is designed to be used in 10Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet networks. See below
for information on how to attach the ePipe to your network and modem.
Attaching the ePipe to your LAN
To connect ePipe to your network, follow the steps below:
♦The ePipe 2202 has two auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (10/100Base-T),
the first of which can be connected to any available 10 or 100 Mbps port on an
Ethernet hub or switch in your network. Use the provided Ethernet UTP cable (green
connectors) to connect the RJ45 10/100Base-T port on the ePipe to an RJ45 port on
your hub or switch.
Attaching Modems and Other Devices to ePipe
To connect devices to the ePipe follow the steps below:
♦To connect a PC or other computer directly to the Ethernet port on the ePipe you will
need to obtain an Ethernet cross-over cable. The supplied Ethernet cable is a straight
through cable designed for connecting the ePipe 2202 to hubs and switches and is
not suitable for connecting the ePipe 2202 directly to other computers.
♦Connect your cable or xDSL modem to the second Ethernet port of the ePipe 2202
using the second Ethernet cable provided. An Ethernet cross-over cable may be
required to connect the ePipe 2202 to a dedicated access router. You can then power
on the modem and ePipe.

♦(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.
