1 Connect your VGA monitor and USB keyboard and mouse cables to the
appropriately labeled ports.
2 Connect one end of a UTP cable (4-pair, up to 150 ft/45 m) to an available
numbered port. Connect the other end to an RJ-45 connector of a SIP.
3 Connect a SIP to the appropriate port on the back of a target device.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all target devices you want to connect.
NOTE: When connecting to a Sun Microsystems target device, 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 Connect a user-supplied UTP cable from the Ethernet network to a LAN
port on the back of the RCS. Network users will access the RCS through
this port. Plugging the redundant LAN ports to separate Ethernet switches
provides additional redundancy in the event one Ethernet switch fails.
5 (Optional) The switch may also be accessed using an ITU V.92, V.90, or
V.24-compatible modem. Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the
MODEM port on the switch. Connect the other end to the supplied RJ-45
to DB-9 (male) adaptor, which then connects to 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 switch.
6 (Optional) Connect a supported PDU to the RCS by connecting one end of
a CAT 5 cable to the PDU1 port on the switch. Connect the other end to
the PDU. Connect the power cords from the target devices to the PDU.
Connect the PDU to a power source. Repeat this procedure for the PDU2
port to connect a second PDU, if desired.
7 Turn on each target device, then locate the jumper cord(s) that came with
the switch. Connect one end to the power socket on the rear of the switch.
Connect the other end into an appropriate power source. If using an RCS
equipped with dual power, use the second jumper cord to connect to the
