The device comes with two rack-mount kits to allow you to fasten the device to a rack in any
environments.
Rack-mount Kit Measurement (unit = mm)
Follow the following steps to install the device to a rack.
Step 1: Install left and right front mounting brackets to the device using 4 screws on each side.
Step 2: With front brackets orientated in front of the rack, fasten the brackets to the rack using
two more screws.
Note: You can install the brackets on both sides at back of the device and mount it to the rack
with the rear panel facing outward if the space for front panel cabling is limited. Remember,
when installing the brackets on the front sides, use the four screw holes at the top and bottom.
When installing the brackets on the back sides, use the four screwholes at the top and middle.

3.2 Wiring
3.2.1 Power Inputs
The device is powered by AC power. Simply insert theAC power cable to the power connector
at the back of the device and turn on the power switch. The input voltage is 100V~240V /
50~60Hz.
3.3 Connection
3.3.1 Ethernet Port Pin Assignment
The device is equipped with standard Ethernet ports. According to the link type, the device
uses CAT 3, 4, 5,5e UTP cables to connect to any other network devices (PCs, servers,
switches, routers, or hubs). Please refer to the following table for cable specifications.

ATTENTION
1. Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
devices.
2. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum
current allowable for each wire size.
3. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
4. Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring
and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
5. Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the
same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.
6. You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine
which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring
sharing similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together
7. You should separate input wiring from output wiring
8. It is advised to label the wiring to all devices in the system
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been switched off or
the area is known to be non-hazardous. The devices may only be connected
to the supply voltage shown on the type plate.

3.3.2 SFP
The device comes with SFP ports that can connect to other devices using SFP modules. The
SFP modules are hot-swappable input/output devices that can be plugged into the SFP ports
to connect the device with the fiber-optic network. Remember that the TX port of Device A
should be connected to the RX port of Device B.
1. Insert clean dust plugs into the SFPs after the cables are extracted from them.
2. Clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the
optical bores of another SFP module.
3. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical bores of your SFP
modules in cases of malfunction.

Port Alias
Port alias enables the device server to easily identify the serial
devices connected to it. Enter an identifying name to be
identified by the connected device.
Baud rate
Baud rate is the rate at which data is transferred over a serial
link. When setting the baud rate to 9600bps, the serial port will
transfer a maximum of 9600 bits per second. You can select a
baud rate from the drop-down list which ranges from 110bps to
460800bps
Parity
Parity is a simple form of error detection which guards data on
the cable between the connected devices and the serial port.
Available options include:
None: parity checking is not performed and the parity bit is not
transmitted.
Odd: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the
parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an odd number of
mark bits.
Even: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the
parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an even number of

RDS-3086/3166G User Manual

mark bits.
Mark: the parity bit is always set to the mark signal condition
(logical 1)
Space: the last transmitted data bit will always be a logical 0
Data Bits
Choose the number of data bits to transmit. You can
configure data bits to be 5, 6, 7, or 8. Data is transmitted as a
series of five, six, seven, or eight bits (five and six bit data
formats are used rarely for specialized communications
equipment).
Stop Bits
Choose the number of bits used to indicate the end of a byte.
You can configure stop bits to be 1 or 2(1.5). If Stop Bits is 1.5,
the stop bit is transferred for 150% of the normal time used to
transfer one bit. Both the computer and the peripheral device
must be configured to transmit the same number of stop bits.
Flow Control
Serial communication consists of hardware flow control and
software flow control, so called as the control is handled by
software or hardware. XOFF and OXN is software flow control
while RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR is hardware flow control.
Choose XOFF to tell the computer to stop sending data; then
the receiving side will send an XOFF character over itsTx line
to tell the transmitting side to stop transmitting. Choose XON to
tell the computer to begin sending data again; then the
receiving side will send an XON character over its Tx line to tell
the transmitting side to resume transmitting. In hardware flow
control mode, when the device is ready to receive data, it sends
a CTS (Clear To Send) signal to the device on the other end.
When a device has something it wants to send, it will send a
RTS (Ready To Send) signal and waits for a CTS signal to
come back its way. These signals are sent apart from the data
itself on separate wires.
Interface
Choose an interface for your serial device. Available interfaces
include RS-232, RS-422, RS-485(2-wires), and
RS-485(4-wires),
Performance
Throughput: guarantees highest transmission speed.
Latency: guarantees shortest response time.
