DX Sensor Packages
Most DX sensor packages contain terminals for connecting detectors or
actuators. For information on connecting actuators or detectors to DX
terminals, refer to the Environmental Sensors Guide or Online Help on
Raritan website's
Support page
(
).
You can cascade up to 12 DX sensor packages.
When cascading DX, remember that the PX only supports a maximum of
32 sensors and/or actuators.
If there are more than 32 sensors and/or actuators connected, every
sensor and/or actuator after the 32nd one is NOT managed by the PX.
For example, if you cascade 12 DX packages, and each package
contains 3 functions (a function is a sensor or actuator), the PX does
NOT manage the last 4 functions because the total 36 (12*3=36)
exceeds 32 by 4.
Tip: To manage the last 4 functions, you can release 4 sensors or
actuators that have been under management, and then manually bring
the last 4 functions into management. See
Unmanaging Environmental
Sensors or Actuators (on page 287) and Managing Environmental
Sensors or Actuators (on page 276).
Numbers Components
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 now blocked.
Removable rackmount brackets.
Connect DX to the PX:
1. Connect an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter cable which is shipped with a
DX sensor package to the DX.
 Connect the adapter's RJ-45 connector to either RJ-45 port of the
DX.
