You can easily connect each serial port on your SDS to any serial device
that you want to make accessible to an Ethernet network.

Follow these steps to connect your SDS to one or more serial devices.
Step Procedure Description
‰
Step 1 Make sure the serial device you are
connecting to the SDS is turned off.
The SDS should be unplugged.
‰
Step 2 Connect a serial cable between the SDS
and your serial device. See Serial port(s) on page 10 for pinout
and connector information.

Ethernet outlet and the SDS’ 10/100 port.
The Ethernet port is located on the back
panel.

Step 4 Insert the power source jack into the
power plug on the back of the SDS.
An SDS requires a 5-VDC, 2-A (10-W

drivers!
