4.8 Connecting the CAT5 cables

1. Connect one connector to the XRICCs RJ45 port – see Figure 10.

2. Connect the other connector to one of the DX Central’s Server ports.

3. Follow the above 2 steps for each server/device.

Note: You can turn on the devices after connecting the XRICCs to them and before

connecting to the DX Central. The XRICC performs KB/M emulation the moment

it connects to the device and the power is turned on.

4.9 Connecting the DX User to an RS232 Terminal

When there are XRICC RS232s in the DX system, you can control the RS232

devices through an RS232 terminal connected to the DX User units.

When a computer is connected to the DX User, you can control the RS232 servers

via the DX’s Terminal software OR optional RS232 terminal.
