INSTALLATION THE db ENLINE UNIT
The Enline unit comes in t o parts, the front section and the back section.
Front Section
Back Section
Locate a suitable mounting surface for the db Enline unit. This ould typically be on the end of a
ro of cabinets. A person using the db Enline unit should be able to stand directly in front of the
unit ithout obstruction.
• Use the enclosed mounting template to mark the location for the mounting and cable
pass-through holes. Ensure the template is level prior to marking by using a torpedo level.
• Drill the cabinet here the 4 mounting scre s are to be fixed.
It’s important to record the serial number and location of each db Enline Unit installed The db
Enline’s serial number is used to identify it within the Digitus DAS-SQL software
There is no limit to the number of db Enline units that can be installed on a db Bus, as long as:
(db Enline Units + Remote Nodes <= 32)
Typically one db Enline Unit would be installed at the end of each row of cabinets
It is highly recommended that the side panel be removed from the cabinet and the drilling be done
outside of the data center This will prevent the possibility of any metal shavings being drawn into
electrical equipment

USING THE db ENLINE UNIT
The configuration of the db Enline unit is done via the DAS-SQL Management Soft are.
Door Identification
The user is first prompted to identify hich door they are attempting to open.
There are three possible criteria that can be used to identify the door a user is attempting to
access:
• Ro Number
• Cabinet Number
• Door Number
Ro Number and Cabinet Number are optional, hereas a Door Number is al ays required. Thus
the options available are:
• Ro Number + Cabinet Number + Door Number
• Ro Number + Door Number
• Cabinet Number + Door Number
• Door Number only
The number is digits required for each item is set through the DAS-SQL Management Soft are.
The [ ] (square brackets) indicate the number of digits required. Leading zeros are required to
ensure the correct number of digits, e.g. If the requested Ro # is “3” and the required number of
digits is t o, the ro number should be entered as “03”.
# Key Requirement
The db Enline can be configured to either require a # key to be pressed after each piece of data
entered, or to automatically proceed to the next menu item, once the required number of digits
has been entered. This is also set through the DAS-SQL Management Soft are.
Waiting for #key #key not require, automatically
proceeds to next menu item
