NTI SERIMUX SERIES CONSOLE SWITCH
6
Cable Connections
1. Connect a serial device to the port labeled "CONSOLE" on the SERIMUX using a serial cable with an RJ45 male connector
(see cable specification on page 55). This will be the default administrator device. (Fig. 3)
2. Connect each additional serial device or host to be connected by the SERIMUX to any remaining port (1-8/16/24/32) using a
DTE or DCE type serial cable. It may be necessary to add one of the cable adapters (supplied) detailed in Appendix C (page
57) between the device port on the serial device or host and the RJ45 connector.
3. Follow the "Initial Startup" instructions that follow.

Connect to the Ethernet
If the Ethernet option is present, the Web Interface (page
35
) will be used. An Ethernet connection to the Local Area Network
(LAN) must be made using Cat5 cable with RJ45 connectors attached. Wiring between connectors should be straight through
(pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc..) Connect a Cat5 cable between the connector labeled "ETHERNET" and the LAN (see Fig. 4).

Note: There are two types of
serial devices, data
communication equipment
(DCE)(i.e. modem) and data
terminal equipment (DTE) (i.e.
CPU), each having different
connector pin assignments.
The cable adapters (see
Appendix C on page 57) make
the proper connections.
