Attaching the MultiConnect to a Fixed Location
The MultiConnect adapter is design to be used on the desktop
or to be panel-mounted. To attach the brackets for panel-
mounting, following these steps:
1. Typically, the MultiConnect is mounted against a flat surface
with two mounting screws. Drill the mounting holes at the
desired mounting location. The mounting holes must be
separated by 4-7/16 inches center-to-center.
2. To attach the brackets to the MultiConnect, slide the
mounting brackets into the corresponding slots on the back
of the MultiConnect chassis.
3. Attach the adapter to the surface with two screws.

Connecting the Power
The adapters are powered in one of two ways:
•Through the DSR Pin of the RS-232 Cable
Adapters powered this way are shipped with an RS-232
cable that has a power pin instead of a DSR pin.
•Through an External Power Supply
Adapters powered this way are shipped with a universal
power supply and its accompanying power cord and an
RS-232 cable that has a DSR pin instead of a power pin.
Connecting the External Power
1. Plug the power supply cable with attached
transformer block into the power connector on the
back of the MultiConnect adapter.
2. Plug the AC cord receptacle into the transformer
block, and plug the other end into a power outlet.
