Installation of a Serial-Controlled Server or Device
Plug the cables of the HA-RS Host Adapter into the serial port on a server or other serially-controlled data terminal equipment
(DTE) device. If the device is a data communication equipment (DCE) type device, an NTI RJ45MF-RS232-CO crossover cable
or adapter (see bottom of this page) will be required (sold separately).
a) Connect the RJ45 cable end to the serial control port on the serial device.
A DB9 to RJ45 console adapter
(supplied with HA-RS) may be required to make this connection.
b) Connect the USB Type A cable to any available USB Type A female port. If the device being controlled does not
have a USB port, connect it to any USB Type A port on a device nearby. Any USB Type A port will do, as the
HA-RS is only using the power supplied by two of the four terminals in the connector.
Note: The HA-RS Host Adapter will only work with User Stations programmed with firmware version 2.0 and later.
Note: All Host Adapters must be programmed with firmware version 2.0 in order to work with a User Station programmed
with firmware version 2.0 and later. See “Please Note...” on page i.
