Rack mounting Instructions
The NTI switch was designed to be directly mounted to a rack and includes a mounting flange to make attachment easy.
Install 4 cage nuts (supplied) to the rack in locations that line up with the holes (or slots) in the mounting flange on the NTI switch.
Then secure the NTI switch to the rack using four #10-32 screws (supplied). Be sure to tighten all mounting screws securely.
Do not block power supply vents in the NTI switch chassis (if provided) . Be sure to enable adequate airflow in front of and
behind the NTI switch.
Attach all cables securely to the switch and where necessary supply adequate means of strain relief for cables.

Cable Connections
1. Connect a serial device to the port labeled "CONSOLE" on the SERIMUX using a serial cable with an RJ45 male connector
(see cable specification on page 30). This will be the default administrator device. (Fig. 1)
2. Connect each additional serial device or host to be connected by the SERIMUX to any remaining port (1-16/24/32) using a
DTE or DCE type serial cable. It may be necessary to add one of the cable adapters (supplied) detailed in Appendix C (page
31) between the device port on the serial device or host and the RJ45 connector.
3. Follow the "Initial Startup" instructions that follow.
