NTI PRIMUX MATRIX KVM SWITCH VIA CAT 5
Installation of a Serial-Controlled Server or Device
Plug the cables of the HA-RS-M Host Adapter into the serial port on a server (DTE) or other serially-controlled data terminal
equipment (DTE) device. If the device is a data communication equipment (DCE) type device, a crossover adapter
(NTI RJ45MF-RS232-CO- sold separately) will be required.
a) Connect the RJ45 cable end to the serial control port on the serial device. A DB9-to-RJ45 console adapter (supplied
with the HA-RS-M) may be required to make this connection.
b) Connect the USB Type A cable to any available USB Type A female port. If the device being controlled does not
have a USB port, connect it to any USB Type A port on a device nearby. Any USB Type A port will do, as the
HA-RS-M is only using the power supplied by two of the four terminals in the connector.
