Connecting MasterSwitch VM
Setting up a
single unit
To set up a single unit, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the MasterSwitch VM unit into a protected power
source.
2. Connect the power cord of each device you wish to
connect to the outlets on the front of the unit.
3. Connect the 10Base-T network port located on the rear
panel of the controller to the network, using an
appropriate cable.
4. Connect the RJ-11 port labeled “To PDU” on the
controller front panel to the RJ-11 port labeled “In” on
the MasterSwitch VM unit, using the provided
communication cable (APC part number 607-0035A).
Connecting the
cable for remote
monitoring with
no controller
You can use the Com2Telnet software program provided on the
MasterSwitch VM CD-ROM to monitor your MasterSwitch
VM unit without a MasterSwitch VM controller. Perform
these steps only if you do not have a controller.
1. Connect one end of the communication cable
(940-0144), which you received with your MasterSwitch
VM unit, to the “In” port of the MasterSwitch VM unit.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of the
computer you will use, by means of Telnet, to monitor
your MasterSwitch VM unit.

MasterSwitch VM does not provide power
protection. Therefore, do not plug the unit
directly into any unprotected power source, such
as a wall outlet.
