Follow these steps to install the CDMA cellular modem:
Follow these steps to install the SFP module:
Environmental monitoring is available via a USB-connected temperature and humidity sensor.
Follow these steps to connect the sensor. Note the Local Manager does not need to be powered down for installation of this sensor.
It may take up to 10 minutes for the sensor to normalize to the environmental temperature and begin reporting consistent data.
Please see the following documents for more information about expansion cards:
Use the following procedure to install or replace an expansion card.
Power off the Local Manager.
Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, loosen the module screws securing the blank faceplate or the option card to be replaced and remove it.
Slide the new or replacement option card into place. Ensure the two module retention screws are threaded into the faceplate of the card. The screws will align to holes in the chassis if the screws are slightly backed out of the front panel.
Look inside the chassis and find two tabs close to the front of the option slot and two located further back. Place the rear edge of the card on the two front tabs, tilt the card up and slide it back so the card edges slide below the two rear tabs. Gently push the card back until the card seats in the connector on the backplane.
Tighten the module retention screws to ensure that the internal connector seats properly.
If you are installing a 16 port serial card, attach the supplied octopus cable to the connector on the front of the card.
Lantronix Local Managers are designed for standard 19-inch telco racks.
