Adding a PEM (Optional)

Figure 2-7. Remote Console Switch Cascading Configuration With Legacy Console Switches

Adding a PEM (Optional)

A Port Expansion Module (PEM) allows you to expand each ARI port to accommodate up to eight devices instead of one.

NOTE: The PEM operates passively. Therefore, once a user accesses a device attached to a PEM, any subsequent users attempting to access any of the devices attached to that PEM will be blocked.

To add a PEM (optional):

1Mount the PEM into your rack. Using up to nine CAT 5 cables, one connects your Remote Console Switch unit to the PEM, and the other eight connect the PEM to the SIP attached to each device.
