Hardware Installation
4-Port and 8-Port Installation
Use the following procedure to install the DeviceMaster 4-port or 8-port.
1.
Optionally, attach the mounting brackets using the screws provided in the kit
(6-32 1/4” flathead machine) or place the DeviceMaster on a stable surface.
Failure to use the correct screws can damage the PCB and void the
warranty. Do NOT use screws that exceed the length of the screws
provided with the mounting bracket kit.
Note: If you ordered the DeviceMaster Rackmount Shelf Kit accessory, use the
document that accompanied that kit or
download the document
to
mount the DeviceMaster on the shelf.
Note: Do not connect multiple units until you have changed the default IP
address, see
2.
Connect the DeviceMaster to the same Ethernet network segment as the host
PC using one of the following methods:
•
Ethernet hub or switch (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled UP
on the DeviceMaster using a standard Ethernet cable.
•
Server NIC (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled DOWN on the
DeviceMaster using a standard Ethernet cable.
•
Daisy-chaining DeviceMaster units: Connect the port labeled DOWN on
the first DeviceMaster to the port labeled UP on the second DeviceMaster
or other device using a standard Ethernet cable. Refer to
DeviceMaster 2E/4/8/16-Port Units
information.
Do not connect RS-422/485 devices until the appropriate port interface
type has been configured. The default port setting is RS-232.
3.
Apply power to the DeviceMaster by connecting the AC power adapter to the
DeviceMaster, the appropriate power cord for your location to the power
adapter, and plugging the power cord into a power source. If you want to
