Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing the MGate MB3170/3270 from the box, connect
the MGate MB3170/3270 to a network. Use a standard straight-through
Ethernet (fiber) cable to connect the unit to a hub or switch. When setting
up or testing the MGate MB3170/3270, you might find it convenient to
connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a
crossover Ethernet cable.
STEP 2: Connect the serial port(s) of the MGate MB3170/3270 to a serial
device.
STEP 3: The MGate MB3170/3270 is designed to be attached to a DIN rail
or mounted on a wall. The two sliders on the MGate MB3170/3270 rear
panel serve a dual purpose. For wall mounting, both sliders should be
extended. For DIN-rail mounting, start with one slider pushed in, and the
other slider extended. After attaching the MGate MB3170/3270 on the
DIN rail, push the extended slider in to lock the device server to the rail.
The two placement options are illustrated in the accompanying figures.
STEP 4: Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power source to terminal block power
input.
