RJ-45 ports, each of which is located on
either end of a DX sensor package.
RJ-12 port, which is reserved for future
use and is hidden now.
To cascade DX sensor packages:
1.
Connect a standard network patch cable to either RJ-45 port of the
first DX sensor package.
Exception: For a Raritan PDU or EMX with an "RJ-12" SENSOR port,
an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter cable (part number: RJ12M-RJ45M) is
needed, which you can request from Raritan.
2.
If you want to cascade DX packages, get an additional standard
network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) and then:
a.
Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the
prior DX package.
b.
Plug the other end into either RJ-45 port on an additional DX
package.
Repeat the same steps to cascade more DX packages.
Exception: You CANNOT cascade DX-PD2C5 sensor packages. For
details, see
DX-PD2C5
(on page 24).
3.
Make sure the total number of sensors and actuators connected to
these DX packages does not exceed 32 per sensor port. See
