User guide

4. Plug a CAT 5 cable from the Ethernet network into a LAN port on the back of the MergePoint Unity
switch. Network users will access the MergePoint Unity switch through this port.
5. (Optional) The MergePoint Unity switch may also be accessed using an ITU V.92, V.90 or V.24-compatible
modem. Plug one end of an RJ-45 cable into the MODEM port on the MergePoint Unity switch. Plug the
other end into the RJ-45 to DB-9 (male) adaptor, which then plugs into the appropriate port on the back of
the modem.
NOTE: Using a modem connection instead of a LAN connection will limit the performance capability of your MergePoint Unity switch.
6. (Optional) Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable supplied with the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) into the PDU1
port on the MergePoint Unity switch. Using the supplied RJ-45 adaptor, plug the other end into the PDU.
Plug the power cords from the target devices into the PDU. Plug the PDU into an appropriate AC wall
outlet. Repeat this procedure for the PDU2 port to connect a second PDU, if desired.
7. Turn on each target device, then locate the power cord that came with the MergePoint Unity switch. Plug
one end into the power socket on the rear of the MergePoint Unity switch. Plug the other end into an
appropriate AC wall outlet. If using a model equipped with dual power, use your second power cord to
connect to the second power socket on the rear of the MergePoint Unity switch and plug the other end into
an appropriate ACwall outlet.
To connect local virtual media or a smart card reader:
Connect the virtual media or smart card reader to an available USB port on the MergePoint Unity switch.
NOTE: For all virtual media sessions, you must use a DSAVIQ-USB2, DSAVIQ-PS2M, DSRIQ-VMC or MPUIQ-VMC module. For all
smart card readers, you must use a DSRIQ-VMC or MPUIQ-VMC module.
For information on connecting virtual media remotely, see Virtual Media on page 41. For information on
connecting a smart card reader remotely, see Smart Cards on page 44.
To connect a DSRIQ-SRL module to a serial device:
1. Attach the DSRIQ-SRL module 9-pin serial connector to the serial port of the device to be connected to
your MergePoint Unity switch.
2. Attach one end of the UTP patch cable to the RJ-45 connector on the DSRIQ-SRL module. Connect the
other end of the UTP patch cable to the desired port on the back of your MergePoint Unity switch.
NOTE: The DSRIQ-SRL module is a DCE device and only supports VT100 terminal emulation.
3. Connect the power supply to the power connector on your DSRIQ-SRL module. The cable expander can be
used to provide power for up to four DSRIQ-SRL modules from a single power supply.
4. Connect the DSRIQ-SRL module power supply to a grounded AC wall outlet. Turn on your serial device.
See Using DSRIQ-SRL Modules on page 54.
To connect an MPUIQ-SRL module to a serial device:
1. Attach the MPUIQ-SRL module CAT 5 connector to the serial device.
2. (Optional) Attach the MPUIQ-SRL module to an RJ-45 to 9-pin female adaptor. Attach the adaptor to the
serial port of the serial device.
