2. Connect the DeviceMaster to the same Ethernet network segment as the host PC. If the DeviceMaster
serial number is below xxxx-030000 use one of the following methods to connect the cable. Serial numbers
above xxxx-030000, the Ethernet port are interchangeable.
• Ethernet hub or switch (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled UP on the DeviceMaster using
a standard Ethernet cable.
• Server NIC (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled DOWN on the DeviceMaster using a
standard Ethernet cable.
• Daisy-chaining DeviceMaster units: Connect the port labeled DOWN on the first DeviceMaster to
the port labeled UP on the second DeviceMaster or other device using a standard Ethernet cable. Refer
to Daisy-Chaining DeviceMaster 4/8/16-Port Units
Note: Do not connect multiple units until you have changed the default IP address, see
