Adding a PEM (Optional)
A Port Expansion Module (PEM) allows you to expand each ARI port to
accommodate up to eight devices instead of one. See the following figure and
figure description table.
NOTE: The PEM operates passively. Therefore, once a user accesses a
device attached to a PEM, any subsequent users attempting to access any of
the devices attached to that PEM will be blocked.
NOTE: The use of VM or CAC SIPs behind a PEM is not supported.
NOTE: True Serial SIP does not work behind PEM.
To add a PEM (optional):
1 Mount the PEM into your rack. Using up to nine UTP cables, one connects
your RCS to the PEM, and the other eight connect the PEM to the SIP
attached to each device.
2 Attach one end of the UTP cabling that will run between your PEM and the
RCS to the RJ-45 connector slightly separated from the other connectors on
the PEM. Connect the remaining end of the UTP cable to the desired ARI
port on the back of your RCS.
3 To one of the eight RJ-45 connectors grouped on the back of the PEM,
attach the UTP cabling that will run between your PEM and each device’s
SIP.
4 Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the first SIP.
5 Repeat steps 3-4 for all devices you wish to attach.
