NTI SERIMUX SERIES SSH CONSOLE SWITCH
7
Cable Connections
1. Connect a serial console to the port labeled "CONSOLE" on the SERIMUX using a serial cable with an RJ45 male connector
(Cat5 patch cable supplied). This will be the default administrator device. (Figure 3)
2. Connect each additional serial user device or host device to be connected by the SERIMUX to any remaining port (1-
4/8/16/24/32) using a serial cable with an RJ45 male connector (see cable specification on page 70). It may be necessary to
add one of the cable adapters (supplied) detailed in Appendix C (page 72) between the device port on the serial user device
or host device and the RJ45 connector.
3. Follow the "Initial Startup" instructions on page 10.

Connect to the Ethernet
If the Ethernet connection is made, the Web Interface (page 43) can be used. Up to two Ethernet connections to a Local Area
Network (LAN) can be made using Cat5 cable with RJ45 connectors attached. Wiring between connectors should be straight
through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.). Connect a Cat5 cable between the connector labeled "ETHERNET 1" and the LAN
(see Figure 4). For a redundant connection, attach a second Cat5 cable between the connector labeled “ETHERNET 2” and the
LAN.

Note: There are two types of
serial devices, data
communication equipment
(DCE)(i.e. modem) and data
terminal equipment (DTE) (i.e.
CPU), each having different
connector pin assignments.
The cable adapters (see
Appendix C on page 71) make
the proper connections.
