(i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded. In some cases, N-Tron switches with metal brackets can be supplied with optional plastic brackets if isolation is required. -
Page 11: Connecting The Unit
CONNECTING THE UNIT For DCE serial devices (like a modem) use a null modem RS-232 cable to connect to the 102PC-SE. For a DTE serial device (like a computer) use a straight through RS-232 cable. For the 10/100 Base-TX port, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end to a PC or a network through a hub or switch. -

You must know what the IP address is before you can configure the 102PC-SE through a web browser. If you need to you can configure a static IP address through the serial port. - Page 19 Both links should display the page below. Here you can configure every option that the 102PC-SE will support. Don’t forget to save the running configuration after making changes. Otherwise settings may not change after a power cycle on the switch.
