Quick Start

This card explains how to quickly install and configure the PEswitch 900TX module. The intended audience is the person who will install and configure this module. Check the boxes after completing each step. You need the following items to install this product:

• DEChub 900 MultiSwitch, a

DEChub ONE, or a DEChub ONEMX docking station.

• Phillips head screwdriver (DEChub

ONE docking station only)

• Setup port device (PC or terminal).

For detailed instructions and important safety information, see the PEswitch 900TX Installation

and Configuration manual, or the DEChub ONE Installation manual, or the DEChub ONE-MX Installation manual.

• Setup port cable and (optionally) an

adapter.

• UTP/ScTP cables.

• You must know the IP address,

subnet mask, and community string before you begin.

Install the Module (Choose A or B)

A. Installing the Module into a DEChub ONE or DEChub ONE-MX:

If further detail is needed to perform any of the following steps, refer to the DEChub ONE or the DEChub ONE-MX Installation manual.

1) Make sure AC power to the DEChub ONE or DEChub ONE-MX Docking Station is disconnected.

2) For a DEChub ONE:

a) Place the module on a flat surface (table). b) Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the screw and L-bracket from

the DEChub ONE.

3) For a DEChub ONE-MX:

c) Gently seat the module into the DEChub ONE and tighten the screw.

a) Place the module on a flat surface (table). b) Gently seat the module into the DEChub ONE-MX until the tab

engages.

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.
