Cascading DX2 Sensor Packages
To increase the number of connected DX2 sensor packages per SENSOR
port, you can cascade DX2 using standard network patch cables (CAT5e
or higher). A maximum of 12 DX2 sensor packages can be daisy chained.
Tip: You can also make a sensor chain comprising DX2, DX and DPX3
sensor packages. See
Cascading DX2, DX and DPX3 Sensor Packages
(on page 68).
To cascade DX2 sensor packages:
1.
Connect a standard network patch cable to either RJ-45 port of the
first DX2 sensor package.
Exception: For a Raritan PDU or EMX with an "RJ-12" SENSOR port,
an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter cable (part number: RJ12M-RJ45M) is
needed, which you can request from Raritan.
2.
If you want to cascade DX2 packages, get an additional standard
network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) and then:
a.
Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the
prior DX2 package.
b.
Plug the other end into either RJ-45 port on an additional DX2
package.
Repeat the same steps to cascade more DX2 packages.
