3. Connect the power supply to the power connector on your DSRIQ-SRL module. The cable
expander can be used to power up to four DSRIQ-SRL modules from a single power supply.
4. Connect the DSRIQ-SRL module power supply to a grounded AC wall outlet. Power up your
serial device. See the Using DSRIQ-SRL Modules section on page 77 for more information.

Configuring the DSR Switch

Once all mechanical connections have been made, you will need to configure the switch for use in
the overall switching system. This can be accomplished in two ways.
To configure the DSR switch using the console menu interface:
1. Using a null modem cable, connect a terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation
software (such as HyperTerminal
For DSR switch models that support an RJ-45 SETUP port, an RJ-45 to DB9 (female) adaptor
is provided. The terminal should be set to 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no
parity and no flow control.
2. Power up each target device and then power up the DSR switch. After approximately one
minute, the switch completes initialization and displays the OSCAR
Free tag on the local port monitor.
3. Follow the instructions in Chapter 6 to assign network settings appropriate to your network.
To configure the DSR switch using the DSView 3 software:
See the DSView 3 Installer/User Guide for detailed instructions.

Setting up the built-in web server

You can access the DSR switch via an embedded web server that handles most day-to-day
switching tasks. Before using the web server to access the switch, first specify an IP address
through the SETUP port on the back panel of the switch. See Chapter 4 for detailed instructions on
using the on-board web interface for switching.

Setting up the DSView 3 software

See the DSView 3 Installer/User Guide that ships with your software, or refer to the DSView 3
Software Online Help.

Connecting to the on-board web interface through a firewall

For DSR switch installations that use the on-board web interface for access, four ports must be
opened in a firewall if outside access is desired.
