Hardware installation
Use static electricity discharge precautions. Remove possible static 1.
discharge potential from any objects that the adapter may come in
contact with prior to installation. This can be accomplished by
touching a bare metal chassis rail after you have turned off the
power.
If you will be externally powering the device, connect the DC power 2.
adapter. If connecting to a PoE switch, hub, or other device, then
a power adapter is not required, as the product will draw its power
from the host device it is connected to. In this case, ensure that
your switching hub is the PoE type that can act as PSE (Power
Source Equipment).
Connecting LAN cable: Use a standard straight-through Ethernet 3.
cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. If you connect the adapter to
your computer’s Ethernet port instead, you don’t need to change to
a cross-over type cable since the adapter provides the auto cross-
over feature.
Connect the Adapter’s serial port to your serial device.4.
Use the DIN RAIL mounting Kit if you want to place the product on 5.
the industrial DIN RAIL. (optional)
Conguring the Adapter
Setting the IP Address
Please consult your Network Administrator to determine the appropri-
ate IP address. The adapter comes with the factory installed IP address
192.168.1.254. It is ready to accept a new IP address from a DHCP
Server. If your network has a DHCP server, it will automatically assign
an IP address to the Adapter the first time it is connected and powered
up.
