Hardware Installation
16-Port (DeviceMaster PRO) Installation
Use the following procedure to install the DeviceMaster PRO 16-port with an
external power supply.
1.
Place the DeviceMaster PRO on a stable surface, or optionally mount the
DeviceMaster PRO in a rack.
Rack Installation:
a.
Attach the L brackets to the DeviceMaster PRO using the screws supplied
with the unit.
b.
You can mount the unit facing in either direction.
c.
Attach the L bracket into your rack.
Follow these guidelines when mounting the DeviceMaster in a rack.
•
If the DeviceMaster PRO is installed in a closed or multi-rack
assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than the ambient temperature. Be sure to install the
DeviceMaster in an environment that is compatible with the
maximum rated ambient temperature.
•
Make sure that the mechanical loading is level to avoid a
hazardous condition; such as, loading heavy equipment in the rack
unevenly. The rack should safely support the combined weight of
all equipment in the rack.
•
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the DeviceMaster and to protect it from
overheating, maintain a minimum of 1 inch of clearance on all
sides of the unit.
•
AC power inputs are intended to be used with a three-wire
grounding type plug, which has a grounding pin. Equipment
grounding ensures safe operation. Do not defeat the grounding
means and verify that the DeviceMaster is reliably grounded when
mounting within the rack.
Note: Do not connect multiple units until you have changed the default IP
address, see
2.
Connect the DeviceMaster PRO 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 PRO using a standard Ethernet cable.
•
Server NIC (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled DOWN on the
DeviceMaster PRO using a standard Ethernet cable.
•
Daisy-chaining DeviceMaster units: Connect the port labeled DOWN
on the first DeviceMaster PRO to the port labeled UP on the second
DeviceMaster PRO or other device using a standard Ethernet cable.
Note: Do not connect multiple units until you have changed the default IP
address, see
If you plan on using the NS-Link device driver, make sure that you do
not connect RS-422/485 devices until the appropriate port interface
type has been configured in the driver. The NS-Link default port
setting is RS-232.
3.
Connect the power cord into a power source.
4.
Apply power to the DeviceMaster PRO by turning on the power switch.
