9. Power up the target device and then power up the DSR1024 switch. After approximately one 

minute, the switch completes initialization and displays the target video on the local 

 

port monitor. 

10. If you did not use the console menu interface to configure the DSR1024 switch, use the 

DSView 3 software to configure the switch. See the DSView Installer/User Guide or the 
DSView 3 Online Help for detailed instructions.

1. Attach the color-coded connectors of a DSRIQ module to the corresponding keyboard, 

monitor and mouse ports on the server you will be connecting to the DSR1024 switch. 

2. Attach one end of the CAT 5 patch cable to the RJ-45 connector on the DSRIQ module. 

Connect the other end of the CAT 5 patch cable to the desired port on the back panel of the 
DSR1024 switch.

NOTE:  When connecting a Sun DSRIQ module, you must use a multi-sync monitor in the local port to 
accommodate Sun computers that support both VGA and sync-on-green or composite sync.

1. Attach the DSRIQ-SRL module 9-pin serial connector to the serial port of the device you will 

be connecting to the DSR1024 switch.

2. Attach one end of the CAT 5 patch cable to the RJ-45 connector on the DSRIQ-SRL module. 

Connect the other end of the CAT 5 patch cable to the desired port on the back panel of the 
DSR1024 switch.

NOTE:  The DSRIQ-SRL module is a DCE device and supports only VT100 terminal emulation.

3. Connect the power supply to the power connector on your DSRIQ-SRL module. The cable 

expander can be used to power up to four DSRIQ-SRL modules from a single power supply.

4. Connect the DSRIQ-SRL module power supply to an appropriate AC wall outlet. Power up 

your serial device. See Appendix C on page 56 for more information on DSRIQ-SRL modules.

Verify the connections between the DSR1024 switch, DSRIQ modules and serial devices by 
reading the status of the LEDs on the DSR1024 switch and the DSRIQ module.
