Then, turn on the WDR-3124A by connecting a power terminal block to a DC power source (12 to 48 VDC). Step 2: Connect the WDR-3124A to a notebook or PC Since the WDR-3124A supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the WDR-3124A to a computer. If the LED indicator on the WDR-3124A's LAN port lights up, it means a connection has been established. Step 3: Set up the computer's IP address Set an IP address on the same subnet as the WDR-3124A. Since the WDR-3124A's default IP address is 192.168.127.254, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, you should set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.127.xxx and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your WDR-3124A.
WARNING
Safety First! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowed for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following items: · Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point. NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. · You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together. · Keep input wiring and output wiring separate. · It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when necessary.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked "Class 2" or "LPS" and rated O/P: 9.6 W (12V/0.7A to 48V/0.2A).
ATTENTION
Make sure that the external power adapter (includes power cords and plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable for use in your country.

Grounding the WDR-3124A
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the WDR-3124A's top panel are used for the WDR-3124A's two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown here.
STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.
STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal block receptor, which is located on the WDR-3124A's top panel.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the WDR-3124A to the DC power inputs, make sure that the DC power source voltage is stable.
Wiring the Relay Contact
The WDR-3124A has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on the WDR-3124A's top panel. Refer to the Specification section for detailed electrical requirement. The relay contacts are used to indicate user-configured events. The two wires attached to the relay contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a user-configured event does not occur, the relay circuit will be closed.
Wiring the Digital Inputs
The WDR-3124A has two sets of digital inputs--DI1 and DI2. Each DI comprises two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector on the WDR-3124A's top panel. Refer to the Specification section for detailed information on isolated digital input definition.
