RocketPort® Serial Hub ia (RPSH-ia) Hardware Installation 3
Connecting to the Network
Note: For optimal operation, make sure that the device is mounted in a
vertical orientation with a minimum of 0.5” space on either side and a
minimum of 4.75” clearance from the center of the rail to any device or
wire trough above the unit and a minimum of 2.0” below.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from the port labeled Network on the RocketPort
Serial Hub ia to your server NIC card (10/100Base-T) or Ethernet hub.
Note: If connecting the RocketPort Serial Hub ia directly to a NIC, an
Ethernet crossover cable is required. This is not supplied by Comtrol.
5. Wire the screw terminal so that you can connect the screw terminal to the
optional 24VDC power adapter or directly to a 24VDC local power source.
Note: When connecting and disconnecting the unit, make sure that you
observe proper ESD techniques.
6. Plug the screw terminal into the RPSH-ia.
Note: Make sure you align the plug properly. The the scalloped edge of the
screw terminal is the bottom and is closest to the text on the device.
The RocketPort Serial Hub ia driver’s default port setting is RS-232. Make
sure that you do not connect devices until the appropriate port interface type
has been configured in the device driver.
7. If necessary, connect the power cord to the power adapter and plug the power
cord into a power source.
Note: You may need to select the appropriate AC power cable for your location.
