Connecting the MergePoint Unity Switch Hardware
To connect and turn on your MergePoint Unity switch:
NOTE: To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products: If the
building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best results,
they should be on the same circuit.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
- Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
- Disconnect the power from the product by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the
product.
- The AC inlet is the main disconnect for removing power to this product. For products that have more than one AC
inlet, to remove power completely, all AC line cords must be disconnected.
- This product has no user serviceable parts inside the product enclosure. Do not open or remove product cover.
1. Plug your VGA monitor and USB keyboard and mouse cables into the appropriately
labeled ports. You must install both a keyboard and mouse on the local ports or the
keyboard will not initialize properly.
2. Choose an available port on the MergePoint Unity switch. Plug one end of a CAT 5 cable
(4-pair, up to 150 ft/45 m) into a numbered port. Plug the other end into an RJ-45
connector of an IQ module.
3. Plug the IQ module into the appropriate ports on the back of a target device. Repeat this
procedure for all target devices you want to connect.
NOTE: When connecting a DSRIQ-SUN module, you must use a multi-sync monitor in the local port to
accommodate Sun computers that support both VGA and sync-on-green or composite sync.
4. Plug a CAT 5 cable from the Ethernet network into a LAN port on the back of the
MergePoint Unity switch. Network users will access the MergePoint Unity switch through
this port.
5. (Optional) The MergePoint Unity switch may also be accessed using an ITU V.92, V.90 or
V.24-compatible modem. Plug one end of an RJ-45 cable into the MODEM port on the
MergePoint Unity switch. Plug the other end into the RJ-45 to DB-9 (male) adaptor, which
then plugs into the appropriate port on the back of the modem.
NOTE: Using a modem connection instead of a LAN connection will limit the performance capability of your
MergePoint Unity switch.
