CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times. Disconnect the power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the unit.

NOTE: If the building has 3-phase AV power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase to avoid potential phase-related video and/or keyboard problems.

NOTE: The maximum supported cable length from switch to device is 30 meters.

To install the Remote Console Switch hardware:

NOTE: The default OSCAR® User Name is “Admin.” There is no default password.

1Connect a terminal or PC running the terminal emulation software to the configuration port on the back panel of the Remote Console Switch using the supplied serial cable. The terminal should be set to 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
