First of all you need to identfy the type of CPU you have. Motorola or CPII. On the CPII there is a LAN connection on the Core itself, This is labled LAN 1. LAN 2 is used to connect both cores togeather via cross connect cable. Take your LAN 1 and run it to a networked HUB. You will need to cnfigure the IP Address, Subnet and all that junk in LD117. Make sure that each core has a seperate IP address.

Splinter,
I believe that they are Motorolas because I do not see any RJ45 ports.
The core cards (0 and 1) are labled as Parts CP68060E and IODUC. I hope this helps. I use to be heavily involved in Network Administration prior to this positions so I am clean on how to physically connect it. I just need to know what cards need to be added to the cores and how to program the on the terminal.
Thanks,
Jes

Lantronix UDS-10 and UDS-100 will connect your lan to a serial tty port .They have a password protection feature that will add another piece of security. They are about 50-100 bucks on ebay. They work rather well. Easy to set up as well.

Good luck

I do not have any free TTY ports to spare for this. I thought there were network cards that could be installed to the switch preventing the need for a terminal server. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks,
Jes

add another tty and use a serial server. Its what I've got . I use an Axis 2490. It has the necessary login security. If all you need is terminal acces on the LAN, this is the easiest way to go. If you don't want to add a tty, then use the one your PBX terminal is currently plugged into. If you get it on the LAN, then you can do away with the terminal in the switch room, and voila, an open tty port. Get a 2 port server and you can also put Mermail on the network. (If thats what you're using).
