User-Supplied Items
To complete your EDS8/16PS installation, you need the following items:
RS-232 serial devices that require network connectivity. Each EDS8/16PS serial port supports
a directly connected RS-232 serial device.
A serial cable for each serial device to be connected to the EDS8/16PS. All devices attached
to the device ports support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. Category 5 cabling with RJ45
connections is used for the device port connections.
Note: To connect an EDS8/16PS serial port to a DTE device, you need a DTE cable,
such as the one supplied in your EDS8/16PS package, or an RJ45 patch cable and DTE
adapter. To connect the EDS8/16PS serial port to a DCE device, you need a DCE
(modem) cable, or an RJ45 patch cable and DTE adapter. For a list of the Lantronix
cables and adapters you can use with the EDS8/16PS, see the Appendix D - Lantronix
Cables and Adapters (on page 158).
An available connection to your Ethernet network and an Ethernet cable.
A working power outlet.
