3.1 Precautions when connecting cables Refer to the explanations in the next and following sections and Appendix B, “DB9-RJ45 adapter”, check the specifications of the ports of the NS-2250 and the specifications of the target equipment to be connected, and then determine the interface cable and DB9-RJ45 adapter to be used.
Chapter 3 Connect the cables 3.2 Connect to the CONSOLE port Use the CONSOLE port to set up the NS-2250 and output log information of the NS-2250 and other console messages. The CONSOLE port is a DTE port. Its specifications are different from the serial ports of the NS-2250.
NS-2250. For details, see Appendix A, “Specifications of the NS-2250”. 3.3.1 Connect to a DTE device with an RJ45 connector Connect the NS-2250 and a DTE device with an RJ45 connector as shown in Figure 3-2. (1) Connect an Ethernet cable (straight-through Category 5 UTP cable) to the RJ45 connector of a DTE device and a serial port of the NS-2250.
Chapter 3 Connect the cables 3.3.2 Connect to a DTE device with a D-sub 9-pin connector Connect the NS-2250 and a DTE device with a D-sub 9-pin connector as shown in Figure 3-3. (1) Insert the NS-490 DB9-RJ45 adapter (crossover) (sold separately) into the D-sub 9-pin connector of a DTE device, and then secure it by tightening the fixing screws.
3.3.3 Connect to a DCE device with a D-sub 9-pin connector Connect the NS-2250 and a DCE device with a D-sub 9-pin connector as shown in Figure 3-4. (1) Insert the NS-354 DB9-RJ45 adapter (sold separately; same specifications as the included adapter) into the D-sub 9-pin connector of a DCE device, and then secure it by tightening the fixing screws.
Insert the cable until you hear it click and lock. When removing the cable, pull it out while pressing the connector lever. When the NS-2250 is started, a 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps connection is automatically detected, and when a link is established, the LINK/ACT light switches on.
3.5 Connect the AC power cable (NS-2250-16/32/48) 3.5.1 Connect the AC power cable If you are using the NS-2250 with AC power, prepare the AC power cable specified in Table 3-2. Connect the prepared AC power cable to the AC inlet of the NS-2250.
Figure 3-6 Installation the clamp of AC power cable clamp (2) Switch the power switch of the NS-2250 off. When the power switch has been switched to the (O) side, the power is off. (3) Insert the AC power cable into the AC inlet.
4.1 Insert the USB memory The setup information of the NS-2250 can be stored on a flash memory of the NS-2250 or the included USB memory. When the USB memory is set, setup information is read from the USB memory when the NS-2250 is started.
4.2 Remove the USB memory Before removing the USB memory, refer to the Instruction Manual, and then make sure that the NS-2250 is in a state in which the USB memory can be removed or that the power is off.
