1. For each device that you wish to control via ConsoleSwitch, connect an appropriate Raritan-supplied
nulling serial adapter (See Chapter 2: Introduction - Related Products) that fits the gender and form factor
of the device’s serial console port – sometimes labeled “Admin”, “COM”, “Serial”, “RS232”, or “AUX”.
2. Using standard, straight-through UTP cable of an appropriate length (see Chapter 3: Cabling
Requirements - ConsoleSwitch Cabling), connect each nulling serial adapter to a Device Port (labeled 1
through 32) on the back of ConsoleSwitch.
See Figure 5: Device Cabling to ConsoleSwitch (in previous section) for clarification.
