GROUP SWITCH ADDRESSING
1. For a single network appliance or PC installation, use a DRL460-6-6 control Y-cable to connect
the DB9 male lead (labeled
A
) to the
COM 1
port of the network appliance or PC as shown in
Figure 15
. For a multiple network appliance installation, remove the DB9 male lead (labeled
B
)
tie-wrap to make the entire lead length available for installation. Connect the DB9 male lead
(labeled
B
) to the
COM 1
port of the other network appliance.
2. Connect the
LINK
port of the first FTAP-x-2X8 Fiber Tap to the
CONTROL
port of the second
FTAP-x-2X8 Fiber Tap using a DRL448-6 cable. Any subsequent daisy-chained FTAP-x-2X8 Fiber
Tap has the
LINK
port connected to the
CONTROL
port of the next FTAP-x-2X8 Fiber Tap using
a DRL448-6 cable.
3. Connect a miniature 4-pin male quick lock power supply connector into the
POWER
port of
each FTAP-x-2X8 Fiber Tap and then plug each power supply into the external power source wall
receptacle. The message
Loading . . . OS Version x.xx
will illuminate, indicating power
is on. The Fiber Tap model number and switch status will scroll on the front display.
4. Set the address of each individual switch using the SET SWITCH ADDRESS function as described
in the control pull-down menu section of the Fluke Networks MANAgents software guide.
