Connecting the Target Devices to the Console Server
1. Power down the target device(s) that will be connected to your Console Server.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the port labeled LAN.
3. Locate the included power cord and plug the appropriate end into the power
socket on the rear of the Console Server. Plug the other end into an appropriate AC
wall outlet.
Note: Allow about 100 seconds for the Console Server to complete the boot-up process.
4. Choose an available numbered port on the rear of your Console Server. Plug one
end of a UTP patch cable (4-pair, up to 15 meters) into the selected port, and plug
the other end into the target device. You may need to add the appropriate adapter
to interface with your target device. Please refer to Appendix A on page 51 in this
manual for more details.
5. Repeat this procedure for all target devices. (Refer to diagram below.)
