EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 55
Physical Installation
The EMG module uses convection cooling to dissipate excess heat.
To install the EMG unit:
1. Mount the EMG unit.
If free-standing, attach the adhesive-backed rubber feet to the base of the EMG unit.
Place the unit securely on a desktop or other flat horizontal surface.
If rack-mounted, mount the unit securely in a 19-inch rack. See Rack Mount Installation
(on page 56).
If wall-mounted, mount the unit securely on a flat vertical surface. Wall Mount Installation
(on page 57).
2. Connect the serial device(s) to the EMG unit’s device ports. See Connecting to a Device Port
(on page 58).
3. Choose one of the following options:
To configure the EMG using the network, or to monitor serial devices on the network,
connect at least one EMG network port to a network. See Connecting to Network Ports
(on page 60).
To configure the EMG unit using a dumb terminal or a computer with terminal emulation,
connect the terminal or PC to the front panel EMG console port. See
Connecting Terminals (on page 60).
4. Connect the power cord to power on the unit. See Power Input (on page 61).
5. Wait approximately one minute for the boot process to complete.
The first time the EMG boots, it attempts to get an IP address from DHCP. To configure the
network settings, see Chapter 5: Quick Setup.
