Connecting Asset Sensors to the PX
You need both asset sensors and asset tags for tracking IT devices.
Asset tags provide an ID number for each IT device. The asset tags are
adhered to an IT device at one end and plugged in to an asset
management sensor at the other.
The asset sensor is connected to a PX, and the asset tag transmits the
ID and positioning information to the asset sensor.
The following diagram illustrates an asset tag.

Note: The barcode of each asset tag is unique and is displayed in the PX
device's web interface so it can easily be identified.
To connect asset sensors to the PX device:
1. Affix the adhesive end of an asset tag to each IT device through the
tag's tape.
2. Plug the connector on the other end of each asset tag into the
corresponding tag port on the asset sensor.
3. Connect the asset sensor assembly on the rack to the PX device,
using a standard network patch cable (CAT5e/6).
a. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 connector on the
MASTER asset sensor.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to the FEATURE port on the
PX device.
