Chapter 1
Overview of the LX-4000 Series
The LX-4000 Series is a secure standalone communication server that is designed for applications
requiring secure console or serial port management. The LX-4000 Series provides the most secure and
robust feature set to meet your remote console management and terminal server needs. The LX-4000
Series includes the most comprehensive security features, such as per port access protection,
RADIUS, Secure Shell v2.0, PPP PAP/CHAP, PPP dial-back, on-board database, menus, and others.
The LX-4000 Series console management solution enables centrally located or remote personnel to
connect to the console or craft ports of any network element or server. This serial connection allows
administrators to manage and configure the remote network devices and servers, as well as perform
software upgrades as if attached locally.
The LX-4000 Series also provides various port densities of RS-232 DTE RJ45 Serial ports, as well as
V.90/K56 flex Internal Modem options. Currently, the LX-4000 hardware provides port densities of 8,
16, 32, and 48 ports, plus port 0 for local management.
Conventions
The following conventions are used throughout this guide:
•
User prompt – The user prompt is (for example) InReach:0> for Non-superusers or InReach:0>>
for superusers. The prompt will change based on a login user profile, as configured by the
Superuser. The 0represents the session number.

Installing the LX-4000 Series
The DC leads should be 22 AWG or larger. They should be terminated with a #5 ring terminal or
larger depending on the wire size used.
NOTE: The LX-4000 will run with only one DC power feed connected. The second input is provided
for redundant system power, which is used in high reliability installations.
6. Attach the clear plastic safety guard to the terminal blocks. (The clear plastic safety guard is pro-
vided with the LX-4000 kit.)
Modem Port (Optional)
The modem port is a V.90/K56flex Kbps optional factory installed modem on the LX-4000 Series. The
modem port allows you to dial back from, or dial in to or out of the LX-4000. If the modem is present,
connect your phone line to the modem’s RJ11 connector. If the modem is not installed, the RJ11
connector will not be present on the rear of the unit. In LX-4048 models, the modem port is on the
front of the unit.
The Modem port number is as follows for LX-4000 models:
•
•
•
•
LX-4008 - port number 9
LX-4016 - port number 17
LX-4032 - port number 33
LX-4048 - port number 49
At the InReach:0>>prompt, enter the show port async 33 modemcommand to display a screen
containing the LX-4032 modem port fields.
Powering On
The Power On Self Test (POST) starts when you apply power to the LX-4000 Series unit. The port
status LEDs flicker and the FLT LED remains on while the test is running (this may take only a few
seconds). If the unit passes the POST test, the FLT LED extinguishes, and the OK LED turns green. If
there is a failure, the FLT LED stays on, and the port status LEDs begin flashing an error code. Refer
to Appendix C for an explanation of the codes.
When the POST test is completed, you are presented with two options: [B] Boot Systemand [L]
Login to System Setup. If you choose neither, the unit boots on its own after eight seconds. If you
type L, a password prompt appears. The default password is access. The Main Menu appears after
you enter the password. The Main Menu allows you to change the boot settings and IP address
assignments. You can review the factory default boot setting by referring to the “ppciboot Factory
Default Settings” on page 50. The system loads the LX-Series software from flash and then loads the
system configuration file.
If the LX boots with default operational parameters, the Quick Configuration menu appears. Refer to
the “System Maintenance” chapter in the LX-Series Configuration Guide for further information on
the Main menu. Refer to “First Time Quick Configuration” on page 25 for further details on the Quick
Configuration menu.

ANSI. The Login:screen appears.
System Login and Passwords
The following username and passwords are the defaults the first time you use the LX-4000 Series.
•
•
The default login username is InReach (be sure to use a capital I and R). The default
login password is access.
To enter the superuser mode at the InReach>prompt, enter enable. The default password is
system.
These passwords prevent persons who do not know them from accessing the server. Change the
default passwords to other values as part of your basic server setup. You can use any character or
number in a password. However, backspace, tab, and escape are not supported. Refer to the
“Password Enable” section in the Subscriber chapter of the LX-Series Commands Reference Guide for
information on changing passwords.
IMPORTANT
Take steps to ensure that the password is not lost or forgotten. If you forget
the password, call Customer Support.
Resetting the Unit
To reset the LX-4000 Series, use a paper clip to momentarily press the reset button, which is behind
Reset Switch
Figure 14 - LX Series RESET Switch Location
When the LX-4000 Series enters the RESET state, all front panel LEDs illuminate. When you release
the reset button, the unit begins to execute the Power On Self Test (POST).
If the LX-4000 Series detects an error, the front panel LEDs illuminate to show an error code. This
error sequence is repeated continually until the error is corrected or you power off the unit. During
this time, no data is exchanged over the Ethernet cable or serial ports.
If the LX-4000 Series does not detect an error, the unit begins loading software from the internal
flash. Once loaded, the LX-4000 Series resumes normal operations.

Accessing and Configuring the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
IMPORTANT
If your browser is connected to an LX running an older software version, you must close
the browser completely and clear the cache before connecting your browser to an LX running a
more recent software version. This is because the Java saves the applet to your PC. If you fail to
close the browser completely, the browser will use the old applet when you connect to the
LX running a later software version, and therefore some features will be missing from the GUI
windows.
This section describes how to access and configure the LX via the GUI. To perform this procedure,
you need a PC with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 or later installed.
NOTE: For optimum GUI performance, MRV recommends that your PC run at 500 MHz or better.
The minimum requirement for desktop color settings is 256.

Using LX Ports as Alarm Inputs and Control Outputs
The LX-Series can be configured to provide two low voltage/low current outputs per port which can be
used to control remote devices. Using the DTR and RTS signals, these are designated Control
Outputs. They can be used to control external equipment, or they may be used as the controlling
voltage for Alarm Inputs circuits.
The LX-Series can be configured to provide two signal monitor inputs per port using the DSR and
CTS signal to provide a remote device monitoring capability. These are designated Alarm Inputs. The
following sections describe the use of these signals in greater detail.
Some common terms are:
•
•
•
Alarm Inputs - LX-Series port input signals DSR and CTS used in conjunction with the Signal-
Notice software feature to monitor real world events.
Alarm Points - High impedance, low current, isolated inputs available in the MRV Corporation
IR-7104 product.
Control Outputs - LX-Series port output signals DTR and RTS managed with the Access Control
software commands that could be used to control external equipment or provide a controlling
voltage for Alarm Inputs.
•
Control Relays - True SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) “Form C” Relay contact points
available in the MRV Corporation IR-7104 product.
Alarm Inputs Setup and Usage
The LX-Series can be configured to provide two Alarm Inputs per port using the DSR and CTS
signals. These are enabled with the Signal-Notice feature. Signal-Notice utilizes sets of Trigger-
Action-Rule commands to detect contact closure/opens. The contacts you are monitoring may be
located within your facility, for example doors alarms, window alarms or fluid level sensors. The
contacts may also be contained within your equipment you wish to monitor, for example equipment
fault alarms, temperature alarms and other error condition signals. The signaling device may be a
simple electro-mechanical device such as a switch, a magnetic contact or a relay. The signaling device
may also be electrical such as an opto-isolator, a CMOS driver or a transistor circuit. Typical circuits

Alternative Port Capabilities
Alarm Inputs use the LX-Series input circuits (DSR and CTS) to detect level transitions. These input
circuits sit at the 0V level when left unconnected and can accept a voltage input in the range of ±10V.
Figure 20 - Typical Alarm Inputs Connections
An external voltage within the range of ±10V is required in order for a change to be detected when the
contact opens or closes. Typically, an LX-Series Control Output is used to provide the controlling
voltage for the Alarm Inputs, but it is not required. An external voltage could be used as long as it is
within both the ±10V limits and the limits of the contacts or semiconductor used in the circuit. A
Important design issues to remember are:
•
•
•
Electro-mechanical contacts must be rated up to 10V and 3.5mA.
The inputs present a nominal 5K Ohm impedance but can vary from 3K to 7K Ohm.
Input levels must be 0.6V or lower to guarantee a low state and 2.4V or higher to guarantee a
high state.
•
LX-Series products do not support the use of TXD as the controlling voltage for Alarm Inputs.
DTR or RTS must be used.
•
•
DTR or RTS can provide the controlling voltage for up to 2 Alarm Inputs each.
A common Signal Ground is required. Twisted pair connections are recommended to reduce
sensitivity to noise.
Note that provisions for handling alarm contact bounce and alarm flooding are available in the IR-
7104 Alarm Manager family only.
Control Output Setup and Usage
The LX-Series can be configured to provide two low voltage/low current Control Outputs per port
using the DTR and RTS output signals. Typically the Control Output is used as the controlling
voltage for the LX-Series Alarm Inputs. In another case you can design an interface to transition
from the output signals to a higher capacity circuit to implement a control subsystem. An example
circuit is shown in Figure 21.
Important design issues to remember are:
•
•
Special design attention is required when using Control Outputs in a control subsystem.
Upon a restart or power up the states of DTR and RTS will transition several times as the LX-
Series begins its start-up initialization.

Alternative Port Capabilities
•
•
The states are undefined upwards of 30 Seconds + the Boot Delay Timer value in some
configurations, i.e. the signals are non-latching through power cycles.
Note that negative voltage could be present on the interface until the software is completely
initialized.
•
•
Control Outputs in the LX-Series guarantee ±5.0V drive into a 3K Ohm load.
External loading below 3K Ohm can be tolerated but under no circumstances should the device
load the LX-Series output below ±2.5V/7.6mA absolute maximum drive.
•
•
A common Signal Ground is required.
The MRV Corporation IR-7104 family can provide true Form C SPDT Relay outputs rated to
30VDC/1A per contact if higher capacity and stable contacts are required through restart and
power cycles.
Figure 21 - Typical Interface Design for Control Output Signals
You must change the LX-Series port accesstype to controlto utilize DTR and RTS as the Control
Outputs. For example:
InReach:0>> config port async # access control
If you want the DTR signal to be asserted High (positive voltage) on the port:
InReach:0>> control port async # dtr high
Refer to the LX-Series Configuration Guide for a detailed explanation of the commands to set up a
port in the Control function.

POST Test Error Code Sample
NOTE: This example applies to 8, 16, 32, and 48 port LX units. The 16, 32, and 48 port
LX units use only the first eight LEDs when generating error codes.
The following sample illustrates the Port Status LED sequence for Error 2030 (Reading Invalid Value
from PLD System Fail Status Register) on the LX-4008. In this example:
1. A POST test failure occurs on an 8-port unit. All LEDs flash eight times, very quickly, then the error code
is displayed.
2. You record that LED 3 turns on. Again, all LEDs flash eight times very quickly, then the rest of the error
code is displayed.
NOTE: In hexadecimal, 0 indicates the LED is OFF. 1 indicates the LED is ON.
Each group of four LEDs is converted to a hexadecimal value as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
0 = 0000
1 = 0001

Cabling Considerations
Standard cabling items available from MRV allow you to connect to any serial device that uses male
or female DB-25 or DB-9 connectors. All you need is the appropriate cable (crossover cable for
connecting to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device, straight-through cable for connecting to a
DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device), and the correct modular adapter (male or female DB-
25 connector), which is essentially an RJ-45-to-DB25 adapter.

Connecting to the Diagnostic Port (Port 0)
NOTE: Display problems may occur during bootup when you attach a VT420 terminal to the DIAG
port (port 0) and the VT420 display setup is configured to Smooth-2 Scroll. To avoid this,
change the VT420 scroll setting to Jump Scroll.
Connect the provided serial port cable to the DIAG connector (port 0), and the other end to your
terminal. You can use this direct connect serial link to send commands to the boot loader and
diagnostics. This port is used to log system messages during bootup. You can also use port 0 to
manage and configure the LX-4000 once the unit completes the bootstrap process.
Modem Control/Hardware Flow Control
LX-4000 Series serial ports can be set up to support RTS/CTS flow control. The adapters shown in

NOTE: You would use a "null-modem" cable when making a direct connection between the serial
ports of two communication servers (i.e., no modems involved) or other DTE device. For that
application, use a DTE-to-DTE cable.
RJ-45 Wiring Considerations
You should give special consideration to the wiring scheme when connecting a device such as a
terminal to a LX-4000 Series serial port. The LX-4000 Series is considered a DTE device. To connect
Figure 28. When a DCE device is connected to an LX-4000 Series serial port, straight-through wiring
NOTE: In general, an ethernet category 3 (CAT 3) or category 5 (CAT 5) may introduce noise due to
the crossing of pins 3 and 6 (transmit and receive). Flat eight wire cables are recommended.
Modular Adapters (RJ-45 to DB-25)
You can obtain adapters with male and female DB-25 connectors from MRV. These adapters direct
signals from the RJ-45 connector on the cable to the correct pin on the DB-25 connector. Figure 27,

Figure 30 - Adapter Wiring, LX-Series to DCE, with RING
NOTE: In order to expand the functionality of the serial interface, the LX-4000 Series modular
cabling allows you to connect different signals to pin 7 of the LX-4000 Series. (This pin is an
input to the LX-4000 Series.) When a DCE device is connected to an LX-4000 Series serial
port, the device's DCD output is connected to pin 7. In this case, the signal at pin 7 is
referred to as DCD. DCD is used here for session control only, not for flow control.
When a DTE device is connected to an LX-4000 Series serial port, the device's DTR output is
connected to pin 7 of the LX-4000 Series. In this case, the signal at pin 7 is referred to as
DSR. (This cabling scheme also provides DECconnect compatibility, since DECconnect does
not support the DCD signal.)
MRV 8-Wire Cabling
This cabling scheme provides XMT, RCV, DCD/DSR, DTR, RTS, CTS, and two signal ground wires.
This cabling is provided through RJ-45 connectors. Using this cabling scheme you can concurrently
use modem control and RTS/CTS hardware flow control, since there are four control signals. This
scheme is useful with relatively high speed devices, complex modem control applications.
observed at pin 1 of each serial port. Pin 1 is multiplexed to these signals.
This scheme is useful with the following applications:
