B. Installing the Module into a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch:

If further detail is needed to perform any of the remaining steps in this document, refer to the
PEswitch 900TX Installation and Configuration manual.

1) Look at the back of the PEswitch 900TX and check power availability by comparing

the power ratings on the module’s power rating tag with those shown as available on
the Hub Manager status display. If there is insufficient power available, you must
add another power supply to the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch.

2) Seat the module into the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch.

3) If power is available, the module’s Power LED lights. When the module completes
its self-test, the Module OK LED lights. If these LEDs do not light, refer to
[Appendix A].

4) Connect all UTP/ScTP cables to the module as required for your configuration.

Install the Setup Port Cable

1) Select the appropriate cable and, if necessary, an adapter for your setup port
device. In general, this will be a BN24H-xx cable (where xx is the length of the
cable in meters) and an H8571-J (6-pin MMJ to 9-pin D-Sub connector) or H8575­A (6-pin MMJ to 25-pin D-Sub connector) adapter.

2) Ensure that the transmit and receive baud rates on the setup port device are set to
9600 baud.

3) Connect one end of the cable into the setup port of either the DEChub ONE, or the
DEChub ONE-MX, or the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch. Plug the other end of the
cable directly into the setup port device or, if necessary, into an adapter that
connects to the setup port device.
