Chapter 4: Connecting External Equipment (Optional)51DX Sensor PackagesMost DX sensor packages contain terminals for connecting detectors oractuators. For information on connecting actuators or detectors to DXterminals, refer to the Environmental Sensors Guide or Online Help onRaritan website's Support page (http://www.raritan.com/support/).You can cascade up to 12 DX sensor packages.When cascading DX, remember that the EMX only supports a maximumof 32 sensors and/or actuators.If there are more than 32 sensors and/or actuators connected, everysensor and/or actuator after the 32nd one is NOT managed by the EMX.For example, if you cascade 12 DX packages, and each packagecontains 3 functions (a function is a sensor or actuator), the EMX doesNOT manage the last 4 functions because the total 36 (12*3=36)exceeds 32 by 4.Tip: To manage the last 4 functions, you can release 4 sensors oractuators that have been under management, and then manually bringthe last 4 functions into management. See Unmanaging EnvironmentalSensors or Actuators (on page 256) and Managing EnvironmentalSensors or Actuators (on page 244).Numbers ComponentsRJ-45 ports, each of which is located oneither end of a DX sensor package.RJ-12 port, which is reserved for future useand now blocked.Removable rackmount brackets.Connect DX to the EMX:1. Connect an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter cable which is shipped with aDX sensor package to the DX. Connect the adapter's RJ-45 connector to either RJ-45 port of theDX.
