22 • Physical Installation ULTRIX-FR12 Installation Guide (v4.0)
Mounting Requirements
• The ULTRIX-FR12 is designed for installation into a standard 19” equipment rack. It has integrated
rack ears, allowing it to be screwed in using standard screws and cage nuts. It is recommended to
use M6 x 10mm screws with 40in-lbs [4.5N·m] of torque.
• Before working on any rack, ensure that it is stable. Make sure that any rack is level and stable
before extending a component from the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
• Under some conditions, the ambient air temperature inside rack-mount cabinets can be greater
than the ambient temperatures within a room. For safe long term reliability, ensure the ambient
air temperatures at the router intake are within the router’s specified operating temperature
range. Adequate ventilation within a rack frame must also be maintained.
• The ULTRIX-FR12 mounts in the rack frame by means of rack screws fastened through the front
and back mounting ears. This should normally be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight
of accompanying cables. There are 4 slots in each rack ear which need to be populated with a
total of 8 screws.
• After installing equipment/components within a rack, never pull more than one component out
of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended
component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious injury.

Connecting the ULTRIX-FR12 to a Network
Each Ethernet port is a standard RJ45 Ethernet connector and is used to exchange data and
communicate with other devices in your router system.
Contact your IT department before connecting to your facility network to ensure that there are
no conflicts. They will provide you with an appropriate value for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway for your device.
The ULTRIX-FR12 is connected directly to your network so that it can interface with the devices and
the computer running the DashBoard client. After a physical connection is established, DashBoard
is used to configure the network settings for the ULTRIX-FR12.
The ULTRIX-FR12 communicates via a standard IT Ethernet communications network (1Gbe). For
installations comprising a managed switch, ensure TCP ports 15000 and 5000 are not blocked for
inter-device communications.
For More Information on...
• downloading and installing DashBoard, refer to the DashBoard User Manual.
If difficulties or problems are experienced when connecting the ULTRIX-FR12 to a network hub,
or with assigning IP addresses, please contact your network administrator.
To establish a physical connection to the network
A 1GbE connection is required.
Warning — When servicing or moving equipment, always observe safe handling practices. Get help to
move heavy items. Use safe lifting techniques. Follow all safety rules of your workplace.
Caution — The ULTRIX-FR12 weighs approximately 122lbs (55.34kg). Two people should work
together to lift it into place to avoid physical injury.
