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.
Note: A DX2 sensor does not have the RJ-12 port and looks slightly
different from the above image. For details, refer to the Environmental
Sensors and Actuators Guide (or Online Help).
Connect DX sensor packages to the PX3:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) to either
RJ-45 port on a DX sensor package.
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. A PX3
device supports only one DX-PD2C5.
3. Connect the first DX sensor package to the PX3 by plugging its
cable's connector into the RJ-45 SENSOR port of the PX3.
4. If needed, connect a DPX2 sensor package to the end of the DX chain.
See
Connecting a DPX2 Sensor Package to DX
(on page 64).
Warning: The PX3 does NOT support simultaneous connection of both
DX-PD2C5 and asset management strip(s) so do NOT connect both of
them at the same time.
