3.0 Installing the ProtoNode
Step 1: Installation of the ProtoNode Hardware
Each ProtoNode has a unique serial number and MAC address located on the underside of the unit.
These numbers should be recorded as they may be required for technical support.
Serial Number: _________________________________________________
MAC Address: __________________________________________________
1.
A DB-9 cable should be connected between the Serial 1 port on the ProtoNode and the
serial port of the Toshiba UPS RS-232 port (See Figure 1). NOTE: for G8000 UPS use a
straight serial cable. Use a gender changer if needed.
2.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the ProtoNode RJ45 port and the other end to
your computer (switch or Hub) RJ45 port. NOTE: The ProtoNode Ethernet port automatically
senses an uplink connection, and may therefore be connected to a PC or a hub/switch using
either a crossover cable (not supplied) or a direct Ethernet cable (supplied).
3.
Connect the 5-30 VDC power supply adapter to the terminal block in the back of the
ProtoNode.
