Ethernet Cables
When connecting an RJ-45/RJ-48 port to an end station, workstation or server, use a standard
RJ-45/RJ-48 pin-out cable.
Console Interface
A simple menu-driven interface provides for system initialization and diagnostics. The Console
interface is EIA232 VT-100 compatible. The primary purpose of the terminal interface is to set
basic operational parameters.
The terminal interface is password protected. By default there is no password set for the
terminal interface.
Using the enclosed serial cable (see table below for wiring), connect the RJ-45 connector to the
connector marked “Console” and the other side to the 9-pin serial port connector on the back of
your PC.
The supplied cable has the following pinout:
Switch Side PC Side
RJ-45 Pin # DB-9 Female
3 2
2 3
5 5
NOTE You can also use a RJ-45/DB-9 cable.
DC Power installation
The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as this equipment. The DC
power source should be protected with a circuit breaker with a rating of 10Amp as disconnect
device, connected to the non-grounding conductor. The unit shall be connected directly to the
DC supply system; there shall be no switching or disconnecting devices in the earthed circuit
conductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the grounding electrode
conductor.
This equipment shall be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent cabinets) as any
other equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC supply
circuit and the grounding conductor, and also the point of grounding of the DC system. The DC
system shall not be earthed elsewhere.
