Using an Optional DPX3-ENVHUB4 Sensor Hub
A Raritan DPX3-ENVHUB4 sensor hub is physically and functionally
similar to the DPX-ENVHUB4 sensor hub, which increases the number
of sensor ports for the PX, except for the following differences:

All ports on the DPX3-ENVHUB4 sensor hub are RJ-45 instead of
RJ-12 as the DPX-ENVHUB4 sensor hub.

The DPX3-ENVHUB4 sensor hub supports all Raritan environmental
sensor packages, including DPX, DPX2, DPX3 and DX sensor
packages.
To connect diverse types of sensor packages to this sensor hub, you
must follow the combinations shown in the section titled
Mixing Diverse
Sensor Types
(on page 50).
To connect DPX3 sensor packages via the DPX3-ENVHUB4 hub:
1. Connect the DPX3-ENVHUB4 sensor hub to the PX using an RJ-12
to RJ-45 adapter cable.
a. Plug the RJ-45 connector of this cable into the IN port (Port 1) of
the hub.
b. Plug the RJ-12 connector of this cable into the RJ-12 SENSOR
port of the PX.
