Adding a PEM (Optional)

A Port Expansion Module (PEM) allows you to expand each ARI port to
accommodate up to eight devices instead of one.
NOTE:
The PEM operates passively. Therefore, once a user accesses a device
attached to a PEM, any subsequent users attempting to access any of the devices
attached to that PEM will be blocked.
To add a PEM (optional):
1 Mount the PEM into your rack. Using up to nine CAT 5 cables, one
connects your Remote Console Switch unit to the PEM, and the other
eight connect the PEM to the SIP attached to each device.
