SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 / SN0148 Installation
To set up your SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 / SN0148 installation, refer to
the Installation Diagram on page 29. The numbers in the diagram correspond
to the numbers of the instruction steps, below:
1. Use a grounding wire to ground the unit by connecting one end of the wire
to the Serial Console Server’s grounding terminal (located on the back
panel), and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
2. For each server or serial device with a DB9 connector, plug an RJ-45-to-
Serial adapter into its serial port. Use standard straight-through Ethernet
cable to connect any available port on the Serial Console Server’s rear
panel to the RJ-45-to-Serial adapter
Note: Two RJ-45-to-Serial adapters (1 x SA0142; 1 x SA0141) are
included in the SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 / SN0148 package.
Additional adapters require a separate purchase. Please contact your
dealer.
3. For serial devices with RJ-45 connectors, use Ethernet rollover cable or a
special pin-out cable to connect any available port on the Serial Console
Server's rear panel to serial RJ-45 port.
4. Plug the cables that connect the SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 / SN0148
to the network into the primary and backup LAN ports, located on the
unit’s rear panel.
5. (Optional)
a. Use Cat 5e cable to connect the SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 /
SN0148’s PON port to an SA0150 adapter. Connect the adapter to the
PON IN port of a PN0108 Power Over the Net™ device.
b. Use Cat 5e cable to connect the SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 /
SN0148’s PON port to the PON IN port of a PN5xxx / PN7xxx Power
Over the Net™ device.
