To change the DB9 Connector Pin 9 to 5V DC output, please follow these steps: WARNING! Static Electricity can severely damage electronics. Ensure that you are adequately Grounded before you open the device housing or touch the change the jumper. You should wear an Anti-Static Strap or use an Anti-Static Mat when opening the housing or changing the jumper. If an Anti-Static Strap isn't available, discharge any built-up static electricity by touching a large Grounded Metal Surface for several seconds. 1. Ensure the Power Adapter and all Peripheral Cables are disconnected from the Serial Device Server. 2. Using a Phillips Screwdriver, remove the Screws from the Housing. Note: Save these to re-assemble the housing after changing the jumper. 3. Using both hands, carefully open the Housing to expose the Circuit Board inside. 4. Identify Jumper #4 (JP4), located inside the Housing next to the DB9 Connector. 5. Using a pair of fine-point tweezers or a small flat-head screwdriver, carefully move the jumper to the 5V position. 6. Re-assemble the Housing, ensuring the Housing Screw Holes align. 7. Replace the Housing Screws removed in Step 3. (Optional) Mounting The Serial Device Server 1. Determine the mounting method that best suits the installation environment (DIN Rail or Wall Mount). 2. Align the bracket with the Bracket Mounting Holes on the bottom or sides of the Serial Device Server. To view manuals, videos, drivers, downloads, technical drawings, and more visit www.startech.com/support 7 3. Using the included Mounting Bracket Screws, secure the DIN Rail or Mounting Bracket to the Serial Device Server. 4. Mount the Serial Device Server as follows: · DIN Rail: Insert the DIN Rail Mounting Plate at an angle starting from the Top, then Push it against the DIN Rail. · Wall Mount: Secure the Mounting Bracket to the Mounting Surface using the appropriate Mounting Hardware (i.e., wood screws). Install the Serial Device Server 1. Connect the included Power Supply to the Serial Device Server. This is only required for the I13-SERIAL-ETHERNET. Note: The Serial Device Server can take up to 80 seconds to startup. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 Port of the Serial Device Server to a Network Router, Switch, or Hub. Note: The I13P-SERIAL-ETHERNET must be connected to a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to receive Power over Ethernet (PoE). If PoE power is not available, a 5V, 3A+, Type M power adapter (sold separately) must be used to ensure proper operation. 3. Connect an RS-232 Serial Device to the DB-9 Port on the Serial Device Server. Software Installation 1. Navigate to: www.StarTech.com/I13-SERIAL-ETHERNET or www.StarTech.com/I13P-SERIAL-ETHERNET 2. Click the Drivers/Downloads tab. 3. Under Driver(s), download the Software Package for Windows Operating System. 4. Extract the contents of the downloaded .zip file.

Follow the on screen prompts to complete the installation. Operation Note: The devices support features which secure and protect the devices and its configuration using standard/best practices but as these are intended to be used in controlled environments using proprietary software (virtual COM port) and open communication standards (Telnet, RFC2217) which do not encrypt the data they should not be exposed to an unsecure connection. Telnet Using Telnet to send or receive data works with any operating system or host device that supports the Telnet protocol. The software for the connected serial peripheral device may require a COM Port or mapped hardware address. To configure this, the StarTech.com Device Server Manager is required, which is only supported on Windows operating systems. To communicate with the connected Serial Peripheral Device via Telnet, perform the following: 1. Open a terminal, command prompt, or third-party software that connects to a Telnet server. 2. Type the IP address of the Serial Device Server. Note: This can be found using the StarTech.com Device Server Manager for Windows, or by viewing the connected devices on the local network router. 3. Connect to the Serial Device Server. 4. Type in the terminal, command prompt, or third-party software to send commands/data to the Serial Peripheral Device.
