24 - Hardware Installation DeviceMaster Installation and Configuration Guide: 2000506 Rev. B

4-Port and 8-Port Models

Use the following procedure to install the DeviceMaster 4-port or 8-port.

1. Record the MAC address and serial number of the DeviceMaster unit on the customer

service label provided.

You may need the MAC address during driver configuration. The MAC address (starts

with 00 C0 4E) and serial number are located on a label on the DeviceMaster.

Note: Do not connect multiple units until you have changed the default IP address, see

Initial Configuration

on Page 33.

2. Optionally, attach the mounting brackets using the screws provided in the kit (6-32 1/

4” flathead machine) or place the DeviceMaster on a stable surface.

Failure to use the correct screws can damage the PCB and void the warranty. Do

NOT use screws that exceed the length of the screws provided with the mounting

bracket kit.

Note: If you ordered the DeviceMaster Rackmount Shelf Kit accessory, use the

document that accompanied that kit or download the document

to mount the

DeviceMaster on the shelf.

3. Connect the DeviceMaster to the same Ethernet network segment as the host PC using

one of the following methods:

• Ethernet hub or switch (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled UP on the

DeviceMaster using a standard Ethernet cable.

• Server NIC (10/100Base-T): Connect to the port labeled DOWN on the

DeviceMaster using a standard Ethernet cable.

• Daisy-chaining DeviceMaster units: Connect the port labeled DOWN on the

first DeviceMaster to the port labeled UP on the second DeviceMaster or other

device using a standard Ethernet cable. Refer to Daisy-Chaining DeviceMaster

2E/4/8/16-Port Units on Page 101 for more detailed information.

Do not connect RS-422/485 devices until the appropriate port interface type has

been configured. The default port setting is RS-232.

4. Apply power to the DeviceMaster by connecting the AC power adapter to the

DeviceMaster, the appropriate power cord for your location to the power adapter, and

plugging the power cord into a power source. If you want to provide your own power

supply, see 4-Port

Power Supply on Page 88.
