User-Supplied Items
To complete intallation of your EDS-MD device server, you need the following items:
RS-232 serial devices that require network connectivity. Each serial port of the EDS-MD
device supports a directly connected RS-232 serial device.
A serial cable for each serial device to be connected to the EDS-MD unit. 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 the serial port of an EDS-MD medical device server to a DTE device,
you need a DTE cable, such as the one supplied with your EDS-MD package, or an RJ45
patch cable and DTE adapter. To connect the serial port of the EDS-MD device server to a
DCE device, you need a DCE (modem) cable, or an RJ45 patch cable and DCE adapter.
For a list of the Lantronix cables and adapters you can use with the EDS-MD, see the
Appendix D: Lantronix Power Cords, Cables, Adapters and Serial Port Pinouts on page
