Connect the SIP to an RJ-45 to 9-pin female adaptor. Connect the
adaptor to the serial port of the serial device.
2 Connect one end of a UTP cable (4-pair, up to 150 ft/45 m) into an
available numbered port on the rear of the switch. Connect the other end
into the RJ-45 connector of the SIP.
3 Connect a USB-to-barrel power cord to the power connector on your SIP.
Connect the USB connector on the USB-to-barrel power cord into any
available USB port on the serial target device.
Adding a Tiered Switch
NOTE: The RCS does not support the EL80-DT.
NOTE: The M1000e Modular Enclosure is supported in a tiered
configuration. Attach one end of a CAT5 cable to target port on RCS switch.
Attach the other end to the Analog Console Interface (ACI) compatible RJ45
port on the iKVM module on the back of the M1000e chassis.Firmware
upgrades to the components of the M1000e Modular Enclosure are not
possible via this tiered configuration.
You can tier up to two levels of switches, enabling users to connect to up to
1024 servers. In a tiered system, each target port on the main switch will
connect to the ACI port on each tiered switch. Each tiered switch can then be
connected to a device with a SIP or Avocent IQ module.
To tier multiple switches:
1 Attach one end of a UTP cable to a target port on the switch.
2 Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the ACI port on the back of
your tiered switch.
3 Connect the devices to your tiered switch.
4 Repeat these steps for all the tiered switches you wish to attach to your
system.
NOTE: The system will automatically “merge” the two switches. All switches
connected to the tiered switch will display on the main switch list in the local
UI.
