Hardware Installation
4-Port Installation
Use the following procedure to install the DeviceMaster 500 4-port.
1. Record the MAC address, model number, and serial number of the
DeviceMaster 500 unit on the customer service label provided.
You may need the MAC address during driver configuration. The serial
number and MAC address (starts with 00 C0 4E) are located on a label on the
DeviceMaster 500.
2. Optionally, attach the mounting brackets using the screws provided in the kit
(6-32 1/4” flathead machine) or place the DeviceMaster 500 on a stable
surface.
Failure to use the correct screws can damage the PCB and void the
warranty. Do NOT use screws that exceed the length of the screws
provided with the mounting bracket kit.
Note: If you ordered the DeviceMaster Rackmount Shelf Kit accessory, use the
document that accompanied that kit or download the document
to
mount the DeviceMaster 500 on the shelf.
3. Connect the DeviceMaster 500 to the same Ethernet network segment as the
host PC using one of the following methods:
• Ethernet hub or switch (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled UP
on the DeviceMaster 500 using a standard Ethernet cable.
• Server NIC (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled DOWN on the
DeviceMaster 500 using a standard Ethernet cable.
• Daisy-chaining DeviceMaster 500 units: Connect the port labeled
DOWN on the first DeviceMaster 500 to the port labeled UP on the second
DeviceMaster 500 or other device using a standard Ethernet cable. Refer to
Daisy-Chaining DeviceMaster 500
4-Port Units on Page 67 for more
detailed information.
If you plan on using the NS-Link device driver, make sure that you do
not connect RS-422/485 devices until the appropriate port interface
type has been configured in the driver. The NS-Link default port
setting is RS-232.
4. Apply power to the DeviceMaster 500 by connecting the AC power adapter to
the DeviceMaster 500, the appropriate power cord for your location to the
power adapter, and plugging the power cord into a power source. If you want to
provide your own power supply, see Power Supply for the 4-Port
on Page 61.
