Ethernet Cables

When connecting an RJ-45/RJ-48 port to an end station, workstation or server, use a standard RJ-45/RJ-48 pin-out cable.

Console Interface

A simple menu-driven interface provides for system initialization and diagnostics. The Console interface is EIA232 VT-100 compatible. The primary purpose of the terminal interface is to set basic operational parameters.

The terminal interface is password protected. By default there is no password set for the terminal interface.

Using the enclosed serial cable (see table below for wiring), connect the RJ-45 connector to the connector marked “Console” and the other side to the 9-pin serial port connector on the back of your PC.

The supplied cable has the following pinout:

		Switch Side	PC Side
		RJ-45 Pin #	DB-9 Female
	3		2
	2		3
	5		5
NOTE	You can also use a RJ-45/DB-9 cable.

DC Power installation

The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as this equipment. The DC power source should be protected with a circuit breaker with a rating of 10Amp as disconnect device, connected to the non-grounding conductor. The unit shall be connected directly to the DC supply system; there shall be no switching or disconnecting devices in the earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the grounding electrode conductor.

This equipment shall be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also the point of grounding of the DC system. The DC system shall not be earthed elsewhere.
