Installing cables
Connect the cables in the following order:
1. Connect the twisted pair cables to the RS-232 ports (see “Connecting the RS-232 ports” on page 24).
2. Connect the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN and WAN (see section “Connecting the 10/100Base-T
Ethernet LAN and WAN cables” on page 25).
3. Connect the composite port (see “Connecting the Composite port” on page 25).
4. Connect the power mains cable (see section “Connecting the power supply” on page 26).
Connecting the RS-232 ports
Model 3034 has four RS-232 ports. Model 3038 has eight RS-232 ports.
To connect the twisted pair cable to the RS-232 port:
1. Attach the male connector of the twisted pair cable to the female connector on the unit.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to a local RS-232 device. If the local device has a DB-9 connector, use an
RJ-45 to DB-9 converter for the connection.
