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
Do not connect RS-422/485 devices until the IP address is configured and an appropriate
port interface type has been configured (Step 6). The 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.
