User-Supplied Items

To complete your EDS8/16PS installation, you need the following items:

RS-232 serial devices that require network connectivity. Each EDS8/16PS serial port supports a directly connected RS-232 serial device.

A serial cable for each serial device to be connected to the EDS8/16PS. All devices attached to the device ports support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. Category 5 cabling with RJ45 connections is used for the device port connections.

Note: To connect an EDS8/16PS serial port to a DTE device, you need a DTE cable, such as the one supplied in your EDS8/16PS package, or an RJ45 patch cable and DTE adapter. To connect the EDS8/16PS serial port to a DCE device, you need a DCE (modem) cable, or an RJ45 patch cable and DTE adapter. For a list of the Lantronix cables and adapters you can use with the EDS8/16PS, see the Appendix D - Lantronix Cables and Adapters (on page 158).

An available connection to your Ethernet network and an Ethernet cable.
