Make Connection
This chapter explains how to install SG-3011DCL/232. It deals with LAN and serial connection guides
for SG-3011DCL/232 to operate together with the target serial device.
Before connection
In order to connect SG-3011DCL/232 to the network, you need to use RJ45 Ethernet port. It supports
both 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet connection (auto-sensing). Since LAN port in SG-3011DCL/232
supports MDIX, it automatically detects any kind of cable. (Cross or direct LAN cable) Plug one end of
a LAN cable to SG-3011DCL/232 and the other end to a hub, switch, or any other network device.
Booting for the first time
First of all, please make sure that the power input you supply to the module is corresponding with the
SG-3011DCL/232 that you have. If an appropriate power input has been successfully supplied, SG-
3011DCL/232 will power on and start booting.
Although there is no LED to check the power status, you can check it by LEDs on the RJ45 Ethernet
port. LED status operation is described in Chapter 3. Hardware Description.
An IP address is required to access web interface in SG-3011DCL/232 command-line configuration
tool. By factory default, a static IP address is assigned to SG-3011DCL/232. After the initial connection,
you can either manually assign a different IP address or set SG-3011DCL/232 to automatically get an
IP address from a DHCP server. While this depends on your network environment and policy, it is
strongly recommended that a user assigns SG-3011DCL/232 with a unique static IP.
Make connection
