User-Supplied Items 
To complete your EDS8/16/32PR installation, you need the following items: 
‹
 
RS-232 serial devices that require network connectivity. Each EDS8/16/32PR 
serial port supports a directly connected RS-232 serial device. 
‹
 
A serial cable for each serial device to be connected to the EDS8/16/32PR. All 
devices attached to the device ports support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. 
Category 5 cabling with RJ45 connections is used for the device port 
connections. 
Note:
 To connect an EDS8/16/32PR serial port to another DTE device, 
you need a null modem cable, such as the one supplied in your 
EDS8/16/32PR package. To connect the EDS8/16/32PR serial port to a 
DCE device, you need a straight-through (modem) cable. For a list of the 
Lantronix cables and adapters you can use with the EDS8/16/32PR, see 
‹
 
An available connection to your Ethernet network and an Ethernet cable. 
‹
 
A working power outlet if the unit will be powered from an AC outlet.
