CONNECTING THE EMG 8500 The front console port allows a dumb terminal or PC with terminal emulation software to locally access management functions and connected devices. The device ports allow simple and flexible connections to serial devices using adapters and a standard CAT5 cable. Connect one end of the CAT5 cable to the device port and the other end to an adapter that attaches to the serial console of the target system. The default communication parameters for the device ports and console ports are: • 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • 8 data bits • No flow control • No parity Note: EMG 8500 device ports are reversed by default, and are software configurable.

Rack mount and wall mount kits are available as optional accessories. 2. Install the I/O modules on the front of the unit and the connectivity modules on the back. Warning: Always remove the power cord prior to installing or removing a connectivity or I/O module. Failure to do so could damage the unit. 3. Connect the equipment to the device ports on the front of the unit using the appropriate cables and adapters. 4. Connect the unit to the network using the upper network port (Ethernet 1 or SFP 1). 5. Connect the power cord to apply power. 6. The top front LED turns green to indicate that power is ON and at least one of the Ethernet ports has a link or both Ethernet ports are disabled. The LED blinks red if none of the enabled Ethernet ports has a link. 7. Wait about a minute and a half for the boot process to complete. The first time you power up the EMG unit, Eth1 tries to obtain its IP Address via DHCP. Warning: If rack mounting the EMG, do not block the air vents on the sides of the unit. If mounted in an enclosed rack, it is recommended that the rack have a ventilation fan. 1
