Power Inlet — The power port attaches to an external, 15-volt DC
power supply included with the OfficeConnect Remote 840 package.
The other end of the power supply cable connects to a standard
electrical socket.
Console Port — The DB-9 terminal port connects the OfficeConnect
Remote 840 with your console. A straight-through serial cable is
supplied to make the connection.
Reset Button — To reset the OfficeConnect Remote 840 to factory
defaults, press this button while rebooting (unplugging and
replugging into an electrical outlet) the unit. You can reset the unit in
Unconfigured Mode, DHCP Smart Mode, or Default Bridge Mode.
(See the Installation Guide for more information on the different
modes.)
MDI/X Switch — Swaps the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) signal pairs

Ethernet port or the cascade port on another hub can be connected to
any of the four ports on the unit. When MDI/X is pressed "in", then
Port 1 on the unit becomes a cascade hub port, for connection to a
non-cascade port on another hub. The MDI/X button must be "out"
to use Port 1 for connection to a PC.

(10Base-T) ports connect the OfficeConnect Remote 840 with the

allow a direct connection to a single workstation.

OfficeConnect Remote 840 to the telephone company wall jack. An
RJ-11 modem cable is provided.
