User-Supplied Items
To complete your EDS8/16/32PR installation, you need the following items:
RS-232 serial devices that require network connectivity. Each EDS8/16/32PR
serial port supports a directly connected RS-232 serial device.
A serial cable for each serial device to be connected to the EDS8/16/32PR. 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 EDS8/16/32PR serial port to another DTE device,
you need a null modem cable, such as the one supplied in your
EDS8/16/32PR package. To connect the EDS8/16/32PR serial port to a
DCE device, you need a straight-through (modem) cable. For a list of the
Lantronix cables and adapters you can use with the EDS8/16/32PR, see
E: Lantronix Cables and Adapters.
An available connection to your Ethernet network and an Ethernet cable.
A working power outlet if the unit will be powered from an AC outlet.
