1.
Plug your VGA monitor and USB keyboard and mouse cables into the appropriately labeled
ports. You must install both a keyboard and mouse on the local ports or the keyboard will not
initialize properly.
2. Choose an available port on the switch. Plug one end of a CAT 5 cable (4-pair, up to 150 ft/45
m) into a numbered port. Plug the other end into an RJ-45 connector of an IQ module.
3. Plug the IQ module into the appropriate ports on the back of a target device. Repeat this
procedure for all target devices you want to connect.
NOTE: When connecting a DSRIQ-SUN module, you must use a multi-sync monitor in the local port to
accommodate Sun computers that support both VGA and sync-on-green or composite sync.
4. Plug a CAT 5 cable from the Ethernet network into a LAN port on the back of the switch.
Network users will access the switch through this port.
5. (Optional) The switch may also be accessed using an ITU V.92, V.90 or V.24-compatible
modem. Plug one end of an RJ-45 cable into the MODEM port on the switch. Plug the other end
into the RJ-45 to DB-9 (male) adaptor, which then plugs into the appropriate port on the back
of the modem.
NOTE: Using a modem connection instead of a LAN connection will limit the performance capability of
your switch.
6. (Optional) Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable supplied with the Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
into the PDU1 port on the switch. Using the supplied RJ-45 adaptor, plug the other end into the
PDU. Plug the power cords from the target devices into the PDU. Plug the PDU into an
appropriate AC wall outlet. Repeat this procedure for the PDU2 port to connect a second PDU,
if desired.
7. Turn on each target device, then locate the power cord that came with the switch. Plug one
end into the power socket on the rear of the switch. Plug the other end into an appropriate AC
wall outlet. If using a model equipped with dual power, use your second power cord to connect
to the second power socket on the rear of the switch and plug the other end into an
appropriate AC wall outlet.
To connect local virtual media or a smart card reader:
Connect the virtual media or smart card reader to an available USB port on the switch.
NOTE: For all virtual media sessions, you must use a DSAVIQ-USB2, DSAVIQ-PS2M, DSRIQ-VMC or
MPUIQ-VMC module. For all smart card readers, you must use a DSRIQ-VMC or MPUIQ-VMC module.
For information on connecting virtual media remotely, see . For information on connecting a smart card
reader remotely, see .
To connect a DSRIQ-SRL module to a serial device:
1.
Attach the DSRIQ-SRL module 9-pin serial connector to the serial port of the device to be
connected to your switch.
