NTI SERIMUX SERIES CONSOLE SWITCH

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. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 

                                      

                                          Figure 3- Connect terminals and devices to SERIMUX Console Switch  

 
 

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.
