Equinox ESP-2 OPTO Serial Hub Installation and User Guide
Installing on a table
The ESP-2 hub ships ready to use in a tabletop environment. This includes four
rubber feet on the bottom of the hub.
Installing on a wall
The ESP-2 hub contains two sets of mounting flanges for flexibility in mounting
options on a wall or other vertical surface. You will need to provide the appropriate
number of screws and washers.
•
You may install the hub with the bottom (the side containing the large label)
against the wall, using the four flanges on the bottom of the hub.
The hub ships with rubber feet installed in these flanges for tabletop installation.
Remove them by grasping the bottom of each foot and gently pulling it down and
out of the hole. Then, use your screws and washers to attach the hub to the wall.
•
You may install the hub with the back against the wall, using the two flanges on the
back. In this case, you may remove the four rubber feet on the bottom of the hub or
leave them installed. Use your screws and washers to attach the hub to the wall.
With either installation, you may orient the hub to best fit your configuration.
To initiate the startup sequence and configure the IP address:
1. The MAC address is printed on a label on the bottom of the hub. This address
will be used as a Unit ID to distinguish different ESP hubs on the network.
Record the MAC address.
00 - 80 - 7D - _____ - _____ - _____
2. Attach a 10BaseT or 100BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN connector on the
front of the hub. A CAT 5 cable is required for 100BaseT operation.
If the hub’s power will be supplied through the external power supply, attach the
other end of the LAN interface cable to the Ethernet hub or switch
.
3. Connect devices to the serial ports on the front of the hub, using appropriate
cables (and adaptors, if needed).
4. Make the power connection for the hub.
a.
If the hub’s power will be supplied through the external power supply, plug
the barrel connector of the PS into the front of the ESP-2 hub, then attach the
line cord connector to an appropriate power source.
b. If the hub’s power will be supplied through Power-Over-Ethernet, attach the
open end of the LAN interface cable to the Ethernet hub or switch.
5. Configure the IP address:
If you are using the web interface, you may initially access the hub using the
predefined IP address (see
on page 15), then
configure the network address information (see
Displaying or Changing Network
