Chapter 4: Connecting Environmental Sensor Packages (Optional)

DX Sensor Packages
Most DX sensor packages contain terminals for connecting detectors or
actuators. For information on connecting actuators or detectors to DX
terminals, download the Environmental Sensors Guide from Raritan
website's
PX2 Support Files page
(
You can cascade up to 12 DX sensor packages.
When cascading DX, remember that the PXE only supports a maximum
of 32 sensors or actuators. If there are more than 32 sensors and/or
actuators connected, the PXE ignores those sensors and/or actuators
following the 32nd one. For example, if you cascade 12 DX packages,
and each package contains 3 functions (a function is a sensor or
actuator), because the total 36 (12*3=36) exceeds 32 by 4, the PXE
ignores the last 4 functions.
Tip: To manage the last 4 functions, you can release 4 sensors or
actuators that have been under management, and then manually bring
the last 4 functions into management. See

Sensors or Actuators

Numbers Components
RJ-45 ports, each of which is located on
either end of a DX sensor package.
RJ-12 port, which is reserved for future
use.
Removable rackmount brackets.
Connect DX to the PXE:
1. Connect an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter cable to a DX sensor package.
Connect the adapter's RJ-45 connector to either RJ-45 port of the
DX sensor package.
2. If you want to cascade DX packages, get another standard network
cable and then:
