Installing
Tools required:
•
Phillips screwdriver (if using rack-
mount brackets).
•
PC or laptop with Ethernet interface and a
web browser (an integrated DB-9 port or USB-
to-serial adapter may be necessary if you would like
to use the console interface)
• Ethernet cable
To install the unit:
1
If mounting the unit in a standard 19” AV rack (recommended), attach the
included rack-mount brackets to the sides of the unit.
2
If not rack mounting, make sure that the unit is physically mounted near power and network
connections (for example, a backbone switch or firewall/router). The unit must also be
connected to a reliable ground connection (see Step 3).
3
To ensure the unit is properly grounded and remains safe, connect a ground wire (12 gauge
minimum) from the back of the PE-08I’s ground terminal to a reliable ground (such as metal
on the rack or a floor ground lug).
4
Connect power to the device.
5
Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the
LAN
port on the PowerPak. You are
now ready to configure the unit to an IP address that matches your network.
