DS62-Network, DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Host Module
Connection Description
BayTech's host communication module provides an interface that controls user access to the DS Series
data switch and other DS Series connected modules.
EIA-232 SERIAL CONNECTION
The DS-Series host communications modules have an RJ-45 port which uses an 8-pin crossed modular
cable to connect to a local EIA-232 device such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial
computers do not have RJ-45 connections; therefore an adapter is provided with this unit to convert
from a DE-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector (Bay Tech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-4). An adapter to convert
from a DB-25 connector to an RJ-45 connector is also available from Bay Tech, upon request (Bay
Tech Part No. 25FRJ45PC-4). The 8-pin crossed modular cable is configured to operate with these
adapters.
Internal MODEM CONNECTION
A Flash upgradeable 56 Kbps (V.90bis) modem allows standard dial-up telephone lines to be used
between the Data Switch installation and the user's location.
IMPORTANT: The DS62-MD4 modem option has priority over the EIA-232 serial port. If a serial
port user is in configuration mode or connected to a DS74 I/O port when a modem connection is
established, the serial port user will be “booted” off, allowing the remote user to communicate with the
DS unit. Using the RJ04X007 (RJ-11) modular cable, connect to “LINE” on the DS62-MD4 module to
the Telco wall jack. Using communications software, dial the modem using the ATDT command.
10/100 BASE-T NETWORK PORT CONNECTION
Using a straight 10/100 Base-T cable, connect the RJ-45 port labeled ETHERNET on the HOST
module to an RJ-45 port on the network hub. The LINK (link integrity) LED, located on the front
panel of the HOST, illuminates when a good connection is established between the HOST and the hub.
Installation
UNPACKING

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION SITE
The installation area should be clean and free of extreme temperatures and humidity. Allow sufficient
space behind the DS unit for cabling and receptacle connections. Access to installation site should be
restricted to authorized personnel. Installation of these units should be limited to ITE and Telco server
environments.
Power
CAUTION: This unit is intended for indoor use only. Do not install near water or expose this
unit to moisture. To prevent heat buildup, do not coil the power cord when in use. Do not use
extension cords. Do not attempt to make any internal changes to the power source. Do not
attempt to modify any portion or component of a DS-Series Data Switch unless specifically
directed to; as in Appendix E of this manual. BayTech must perform any internal changes.
CAUTION: High-voltage surges and spikes can damage this equipment. To protect from such
power surges and spikes, this unit must have a good earth ground. A grounding screw
connection is located near the power switch on the back of the unit.
CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any modules, turn off main power switch located on
the DS-Series Base Unit. Communication to the DS-Series Data Switch will be disrupted while
power is off.
CAUTION: For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible
disconnect device (Circuit Breaker rated not to exceed the amperage rating of the unit) shall be
incorporated in the fixed wiring between the power source and the Baytech unit. For
PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily
accessible and shall provide back up protection against over current and short circuit by
suitable rated protective devices not to exceed the AC current rating for the selected model
