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 PX3, 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 67).
To connect DPX3 sensor packages via the DPX3-ENVHUB4 hub:
1. Connect the DPX3-ENVHUB4 sensor hub to the PX3 using a standard
network patch cable (CAT5e or higher).
a. Plug one end of the cable into the IN port (Port 1) of the hub.
b. Plug the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 SENSOR port of
the PX3.
2. Connect the Raritan sensor packages to any of the four OUT ports on
the hub.

An RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter is required for connecting a DPX or
DPX2 sensor package to the hub.
