Appendix B: Integrating EMX and Asset Management Sensors with dcTrack

5. Click Setup in the Settings section. The Setup of Asset Strip dialog
appears.
6. Enter a name of the asset sensor.
7. Type the total number of rack units the selected asset sensor has in
the "Number of Rack Units" field. This field shows 48 by default.
8. Determine how to number all rack units on the asset sensor by
selecting an option in the Numbering Mode.
Top-Down: The rack units are numbered in the ascending order
from the highest to the lowest rack unit.
Bottom-Up: The rack units are numbered in the descending order
from the highest to the lowest rack unit.
Raritan strongly suggests you select Bottom-Up as the numbering
for the rack units because dcTrack numbers rack units from the
bottom-up, where rack units are numbered in the descending order
from the highest to the lowest rack unit. For example, the top rack
unit may be 48 and the bottom rack unit is 1.
The EMX allows you to number racks from the top down (ascending
order from the highest to the lowest rack unit), or from the bottom up.
9. In the Numbering Offset field, select the starting number. For
example, if you select 3, the first rack unit is numbered 3, the second
is numbered 4, the third is numbered 5, and so on until the final
number.
10. Indicate how the asset sensor is mounted in the rack in the
Orientation field. The rack unit that is most close to the RJ-45
connector of the asset sensor will be marked with the index number
1 in the web interface.
For the latest version of asset sensors with a built-in tilt sensor, it is
NOT necessary to configure the orientation setting manually. The
EMX device can detect the orientation of the asset sensors and
automatically configure it.
Top Connector: This option indicates that the asset sensor is
mounted with the RJ-45 connector located on the top.
Bottom Connector: This option indicates that the asset sensor is
mounted with the RJ-45 connector located at the bottom.
11. Determine how to number all rack units on the asset sensor by
selecting an option in the Numbering Mode.
Top-Down: The rack units are numbered in the ascending order
from the highest to the lowest rack unit.
Bottom-Up: The rack units are numbered in the descending order
from the highest to the lowest rack unit.
