USB connection:
1. A USB-to-serial driver is required in Windows
®
. Install this driver
before connecting the USB cable. See
Installing the USB-to-Serial
Driver (Optional)
(on page 776).
2. Connect a USB cable between the PX3TS device's USB-B port and a
computer's USB-A port.
3. Perform
Initial Network Configuration via CLI
(on page 777).
Note: Not all serial-to-USB converters work properly with the PX3TS
so Raritan does not introduce the use of such converters.
Serial connection for "DB9" RS-232 connector on PX3TS:
1. Connect one end of the null-modem DB9 cable to the male "DB9"
RS-232 port labeled CONSOLE / MODEM on the PX3TS.
2. Connect the other end to your computer's RS-232 port (COM).
3. Perform
Initial Network Configuration via CLI
(on page 777).
Serial connection for "RJ-45" RS-232 connector on iX7
™
devices:
1. The iX7
™
device's serial connection procedure is the same as above
except that a third party RJ-45 to "DB9 female" adapter/cable is
required, such as the blue Cisco adapter cable. This is because the
CONSOLE / MODEM port on the iX7
™
device is a female RJ-45
connector.
See
RJ45-to-DB9 Cable Requirements for Computer Connections
(for iX7
™
Only)
(on page 26).
2. Perform
Initial Network Configuration via CLI
(on page 777).
RJ45-to-DB9 Cable Requirements for Computer Connections (for iX7™ Only)
An RJ45-to-DB9 adapter/cable is required for connecting the iX7
™
device
to a computer, if the use of a USB cable is not intended.
A third party RJ45-to-DB9 adapter/cable needs to meet the following
requirements.

RJ-45 to "DB9 female"

RX/TX and according control pins are CROSSED
The widespread blue Cisco RJ-45 to DB9 adapter cable is highly
recommended, which has the following pin assignments:
DB9 pin signal DB9 pin No. RJ-45 pin No. RJ-45 pin signal
CTS 8 1 RTS
DSR 6 2 DTR
