DX40 Serial Device Router Installation Guide
CHAPTER 2 - Installation
Preparing for Installation
2.1.4Fiber Optic Safety
Before installing the DX40 you should be aware that devices that employ laser
technology, such as the fiber optical SFP ports and associated cabling, can be
dangerous. Do not look directly into a fiber optic port or into the end of a fiber optic line. Doing so could cause injury to your eye or blindness. Always assume that there is
laser activity in the line or port, even if the device is powered down. As a reminder,
whenever this manual calls for the handling of fiber optic lines, those instructions will be
accompanied by a “Laser Warning,” as follows:
LASER WARNING: DO NOT LOOK INTO A FIBER OPTIC CABLE OR PORT! These can
produce invisible light that may do serious eye damage. Always assume that fiber optic cables or
ports are actively radiating light energy.
2.1.5Fiber Optic Handling
Contamination from dust, dirt, oils from the hands and other sources can impede the
transmission and reception of optical signals through the optical fibers.When handling the
optical connectors and fiber cables, follow these precautions to minimize the
contamination of the connectors and ports:
•Cover optical connectors and ports with dust caps when they are not in use.
•Do not touch fiber tips or the interior of optical ports when handling fiber
cables and connectors.
•Clean fiber optic connectors as described in Section 2.4.2.1, “Cleaning
Connectors” prior to making any optical connection.
•Clean optical ports as described in Section 2.4.2.2, “Cleaning Optical Po rts”
if contaminants or degraded performance are noted on the interface.
Fiber optic connectors should be cleaned after each use and optical ports should be
cleaned if you notice contamination or degraded performance.
Fiber optic cables and connectors are fragile and can be easily broken through rough
handling. When handling fiber optic media, take the following precautions:
•Do not strike the fiber cable with tools.
•Do not pinch, crimp, or compress the jacketing of the optical cable.
•Do not use less than the minimum bend radius of 3 inches (7.62 cm) when
routing or coiling cables.
2.1.6External Connections
You can speed up the installation of the DX40 by having the following equipment and
information on hand before beginning:
•A supply of cables and connectors of the required types.
•IP addresses for new devices and any existing devices you will be
connecting to.
•Your notes on naming conventions and end point information.
DX40 Serial Device Router Installation Guide

CHAPTER 2 - Installation
Unpacking
2.2Unpacking
Unpack and inspect the DX40.
The DX40 is shipped with the following items in the box:
•DX40 unit
•Appropriate mounting brackets: for DIN rail applications the DIN mounting
bracket is permanently attached with rivets ; for panel mounting two bracket s
are attached with screws
•Document CD-ROM
•Optionally, Ethernet cable - RJ45 terminations, 10' long
•Optionally, two fiber optic SFPs
Be sure that all the equipment you have ordered is included in the shipment.
Remove the unit from the styrofoam end caps and inspect the DX40 chassis for dents or
other shipping related damage. Report any damage immediately to GarrettCom Utility
Networks customer support and DO NOT INSTALL the unit.
2.2.1Attaching Optional Ethernet Fiber Optic SFPs
The SFPs are optional equipment for the DX40. Depending on the specifics of your order
these might have been installed at the factory. It is also possible that you have ordered
them separately from GarrettCom or from another manufacturer . If this is the case, before
proceeding with mounting the unit and making cable connections, you must install the
SFPs in Ethernet ports E1 and/or E2.
ELECTRICAL WARNING: SFPs are static-sensitive devices. Failure to handle these
devices properly can cause premature failure. Follow proper static safe handling
precautions (such as the use of static safe wrist straps) when working with SFPs.
All SFPs must conform to industry standards and they share a similar appearance.

2.3.3Connecting Network Cables
There are three types of connections that can be made to the DX40. They are serial,
Ethernet copper, and Ethernet fiber optic. The following sections describe each type of
connection separately.
2.3.3.1Connecting Serial Cables
terminal holes
Figure 2-7. Non-Polarized Power Input
This procedure assumes that one end of the Serial device cable is already att ached to the
end unit. Be aware of the serial port numbering scheme when installing the cables (see
Figure 1-1 on page 1). The ports are configured in software later on and if a device is
accidentally connected to the wrong port it will be difficult to detect.
Connect cables to the Serial ports as described below:
1.Align the DB9 connector with appropriate serial port and push gently until the
connector is completely mated to the port.
2.Tighten the two extended capture screws hand tight.
3.Make sure that the connector is not supporting the whole weight of the cable.
Providing strain relief on these cables will ensure a stable connection.
4.Return to step one above and connect the remainder of the serial cables.
2.3.3.2Connecting Ethernet Copper Cables
If your DX40 is configured with port E2 as a standard RJ45 port, connect a shielded
Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port as follows.(see Figure 1-1 on page 1).
1.Install the RJ45 connector into the port with the clip facing up.
2.Push the RJ45 connector into the slot until you hear a click.
3.Give the cable a gentle tug to ensure that the connector clip is firmly seated.
4.Verify that the connection has been made by checking the LED associated with
this port on the DX40 chassis. It should be illuminated. If the link LED is not
illuminated verify that the equipment on the other end of the cable is powered
up and properly connected.

2.3.3.3Connecting Fiber Ethernet Cables
Ports E1 (and, optionally, E2) can be configured with SFPs to support fiber optic
connections. These ports accept LC type connectors. The procedure for installing these
connectors is given in Section 2.2.1, “Attaching Optional Ethernet Fiber Optic SFPs”.
Follow the fiber optic safety precautions and steps to install the fiber optic cables to these
ports and refer to Figure 1-1 for Ethernet port locations.
LASER WARNING: DO NOT LOOK INTO A FIBER OPTIC CABLE OR PORT! These can
produce invisible light that may do serious eye damage. Always assume that fiber optic cables or
ports are actively radiating light energy.
Connect cables to the fiber optic ports as described below:
1.Remove the dust cap from the optical port and from the fiber cable end.
2.Inspect the cable end and the port for contamination. If any contamination is
found clean the port or cable according to Section 2.4.2, “Cleaning Fiber Optic
Devices”.
3.Insert the fiber cable connector into the fiber port. Listen for the click that
signifies the connector is properly seated.
4.Give the cable a gentle tug to make sure it is securely installed.
5.Ensure that the cables are properly secured and do not hang freely. Excessive
bending could cause damage to the fiber strand.
6.Return to step one above and connect the remainder of the cables.
2.4Maintenance
The DX40 is designed to be replaced as a unit. There are no servicing requirements and
there are no user-repairable components in this device. Maintenance is limited to
replacing the unit and cleaning any fiber optic connectors and ports.
The following sections detail disconnecting all connections to the chassis, removing the
chassis, cleaning optical devices and packing the DX40 for return to the manufacturer. If
it is still possible to connect a terminal to the malfunctioning DX40 and retrieve any
configuration data from the device, do so prior to removing power.
2.4.1Removing the DX40
Removing the DX40 entails disconnecting the network cabling, disconnecting the power
lines and ground lines, and removing the chassis from the rack or other installation
location. The unit can then be packed for shipment to the manufacturer.

2.4.1.1Disconnecting Network Cables
The sequence for removal of the serial and Ethernet cables is not important, but it is
important to note that there are active devices connected to each end of the cable.
1.Remove all of the Async DB9 connectors from the serial ports by unscrewing
the two captive screws on each cable and pulling the connector off the port.
(Label the connector with the port number if the cable is to be reconnected at
some later time.)
2.Remove the Ethernet RJ45 connectors from the Ethernet ports by pressing on
the clip on the underside of the modular connector and pulling the connector
straight out. (Label the connector with the port number if the cable is to be
reconnected at some later time.)
LASER WARNING: DO NOT LOOK INTO A FIBER OPTIC CABLE OR PORT! These can
produce invisible light that may do serious eye damage. Always assume that fiber optic cables or
ports are actively radiating light energy.
3.Following the safe handling procedures for fiber optic cables and connectors,
remove any fiber optic cable connected to the Ethernet fiber ports. Immediately
install dust caps on the cable end and the fiber port. (Label the connector with
the port number if the cable is to be reconnected at some later time.)
2.4.1.2Disconnecting Power and Ground Lines
ELECTRICAL WARNING: Before disconnecting either AC or DC power connections at the
DX40 ensure that the facility power has first been turned off. Failure to shut power off prior
to removing the power connections could expose you to dangerous voltages causing
injury or death.
Follow the procedure below to disconnect the power and ground lines.
1.Verify that power to the DX40 is turned off.
2.Use a screw driver to loosen the two screws that tighten the wire clamps in the
non-polarized power connector. Remove the wires from the connector.
ELECTRICAL WARNING: If the wires are not to be used immediately properly
insulate them to ensure that an accidental turning on of the power will not
cause a short or electrical hazard.
3.Remove the ground wire from the chassis by loosening the grounding screw.

2.4.2Cleaning Fiber Optic Devices
This section covers the cleaning requirements and procedures for the fiber optic cable
connectors and the optical ports on the DX40. Clean the connectors after each use and
the optical ports when contamination is suspected or there is a performance degradation
which may be attributable to contamination. All fiber optic connectors and optical ports
should be capped with dust caps when not in use.
The cleaning materials used should be rated for fiber optic devices. Specifically cloth,
wipes and swabs should be lint-free, non-abrasive and free of additives. Cleaning fluids
should be restricted to optical-grade isopropyl alcohol. Canned (compressed) air should
be used to blow out dust and particulate matter and to dry residual isopropyl alcohol after
cleaning.
2.4.2.1Cleaning Connectors
These instructions are recommended each time a fiber optic connector is use d. Clean the
fiber optic connectors as follows:
1.Blow out any dust or particulate matter from the connector end, using canned
air.
2.Wipe out the connector end surfaces with a cloth or pad saturated in isopropyl
alcohol.
3.Blow dry the connector surfaces, using canned air, by directing the air flow
across the tip but not directly down onto the tip.
4.Using care not to touch the fiber tip, install a dust cap or connect to an optical
port.
2.4.2.2Cleaning Optical Ports
These instructions are recommended only when there is evidence of contamination or
when reduced performance has been detected. Clean the optical ports as follows:
1.If required, remove the fiber optic connector from the optical port and clean the
connector as described in “Cleaning Connectors,” above.
2.Insert the extension tube, supplied with the canned air, into the canned air
nozzle and blow out the optical port. Use care not to touch the bottom of the
optical port.
3.Reconnect the fiber optic connector removed in step 1.
