Installing the USB-to-Serial Driver (Optional)
The EMX can emulate a serial port over a USB connection. A
USB-to-serial driver named "Dominion Serial Console" is
required for Microsoft®Windows®operating systems, including
Windows®XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Download the USB Serial Setup
driver file, which contains dominion-serial.inf,
dominion-serial.cat and dominion-serial-setup-2.0.exe files,
from the PX2 page on the Raritan website's Firmware and
Documentation section
(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documenta
tion/).
There are two ways to install this driver: automatic and
manual installation. Automatic driver installation is highly
recommended. You should perform manual driver installation
only if the automatic installation fails.
Automatic driver installation in Windows®:
1. Make sure the EMX is NOT connected to the computer via
a USB cable.
2. Run dominion-serial-setup-2.0.exe. A Dominion Serial
Console Driver Setup Wizard appears.
Note: If any Windows security warning appears, accept it
to continue the installation.

4. Click Finish when the installation is complete.
5. Connect the EMX device's USB cable back to the
computer. The driver is automatically installed.
Manual driver installation in Windows®:
1. Make sure the EMX has been connected to the computer
via a USB cable.
2. The computer detects the new device and the "Found New
Hardware Wizard" dialog appears. If this dialog does not
appear, choose Control Panel > System > Hardware >
Device Manager, right-click the xxx Serial Console (where
xxx represents the product name), and choose Update
Driver.
3. Select the option of driver installation from a specific
location, and then specify the location where both
dominion-serial.inf and dominion-serial.cat are stored.
Note: If any Windows security warning appears, accept it
to continue the installation.
4. Wait until the installation is complete.
Note: If the EMX enters the disaster recovery mode when the
USB serial driver is not installed yet, it may be shown as a
'GPS camera' in the Device Manager on the computer
connected to it.
In Linux:
No additional drivers are required, but you must provide the
name of the tty device, which can be found in the output of the
"dmesg" after connecting the EMX to the computer. Usually
the tty device is "/dev/ttyACM#" or "/dev/ttyUSB#," where # is
an integer number.
For example, if you are using the kermit terminal program,
and the tty device is "/dev/ttyACM0," perform the following
commands:
> set line /dev/ttyACM0
> connect

Combining Asset Sensors
Each tag port on the asset sensors corresponds to a rack unit
and can be used to locate IT devices on a specific rack (or
cabinet). For each rack, you can attach asset sensors up to
64U long, consisting of one MASTER and multiple SLAVE
asset sensors. The difference between the master and slave
asset sensors is that the master asset sensor has an RJ-45
connector while the slave one does not.
The following diagram illustrates some asset sensors. Note
that Raritan provides more types of asset sensors than the
diagram.
Number
Item
8U MASTER asset sensor with 8 tag ports
8U SLAVE asset sensor with 8 tag ports
5U "ending" SLAVE asset sensor with 5 tag
ports
Note: Unlike regular slave asset sensors, which have one DIN
connector respectively on either end, the ending slave asset
sensor has one DIN connector on only one end. An ending
asset sensor is installed at the end of the asset sensor
assembly.
To assemble asset sensors:
1. Connect a MASTER asset sensor to an 8U SLAVE asset
sensor.
Plug the white male DIN connector of the slave asset
sensor into the white female DIN connector of the
master asset sensor.

Raritan EMX Quick Setup Guide 7
QSG-EMX-0I-v2.5.0 255-80-6106-00 RoHS
Make sure that the U-shaped sheet metal adjacent to
the male DIN connector is inserted into the rear slot of
the master asset sensor. Screw up the U-shaped
sheet metal to reinforce the connection.
2. Connect another 8U slave asset sensor to the one being
attached to the master asset sensor in the same manner
as Step 1.
3. Repeat the above step to connect more slave asset
sensors. The length of the asset sensor assembly can be
up to 64U.
The final asset sensor can be 8U or 5U, depending on
the actual height of your rack.
Using the "ending" asset sensor as the final asset
sensor is strongly recommended.
4. Vertically attach the asset sensor assembly to the rack,
next to the IT equipment, making each tag port
horizontally align with a rack unit. The asset sensors are
automatically attracted to the rack because of magnetic
stripes on the back.
Note: The asset sensor is implemented with a tilt sensor so it
can be mounted upside down.
QSR ule
Connecting Asset Sensors to the EMX
You need both asset sensors and asset tags for tracking
devices. Asset tags, which are adhered to devices, provide an
ID number for each device, while the asset sensors transmit
ID numbers and positioning information to the connected EMX
device.
The following diagram illustrates an asset tag.
