2. CONNECTING THE EMG 8500
The front console port allows a dumb terminal or PC with terminal emulation software
to locally access management functions and connected devices.
The device ports allow simple and flexible connections to serial devices using adapters
and a standard CAT5 cable. Connect one end of the CAT5 cable to the device port and
the other end to an adapter that attaches to the serial console of the target system.
The default communication parameters for the device ports and console ports are:
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • 8 data bits • No flow control • No parity
Note: EMG 8500 device ports are reversed by default, and are software configurable.
3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Install the unit on a desktop or other flat, horizontal surface.
Rack mount and wall mount kits are available as optional
accessories.
2. Install the I/O modules on the front of the unit and the
connectivity modules on the back.
Warning: Always remove the power cord prior to installing or
removing a connectivity or I/O module. Failure to do so could
damage the unit.
3. Connect the equipment to the device ports on the front of the
unit using the appropriate cables and adapters.
