Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the EMX Device

2. Connect the EMX device to the network via a wired or wireless

connection.

3. Configure the EMX device using the command line interface.

Connecting the EMX to a Computer

To configure the EMX using a computer, it must be connected to the

computer with an RS-232 serial interface. The computer must have a

communications program such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.

If your computer does not have a serial port, use a regular USB cable to

connect the EMX to the computer for initial configuration. The EMX

device can emulate a USB-to-serial converter after the USB-to-serial

driver is properly installed in the Windows

operating system.

Note: Not all serial-to-USB converters work properly with the EMX device

so this section does not introduce the use of such converters.

Now connect the EMX to a computer for initial configuration by following

either of the following procedures.

To make a serial connection:

1. Connect one end of the null-modem cable to the RS-232 port labeled

CONSOLE / MODEM on the EMX.

2. Connect the other end of the null-modem cable to the serial port

(COM) on the computer.

To make a USB connection:

1. Connect one end of a regular USB cable to the USB-B port on the

EMX.

2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB-A port on the

computer.

Installing the USB-to-Serial Driver

The EMX can emulate a USB-to-serial converter over a USB connection.

A USB-to-serial driver named "Dominion Serial Console" is required for

Microsoft

Windows

operating systems. Download the dominion-

serial.zip driver file, which contains dominion-serial.inf and dominion-

serial-setup.exe files, from the Raritan website http://www.raritan.com

under the Firmware and Documentation http://www.,

http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/

section for the EMX.

To install the driver in Windows

Vista and 7:

1. Disconnect the EMX's USB cable from the computer.
