and RTS (PIN 9). If the port cannot be configured through software to ignore the lines, the
handshaking lines should then be jumped together in two different pairs. Both pins 4 & 6
and pins 7 & 8 must be jumpered together at the controller end of the cable.
5.12.2
USB Interface
The USB interface provides a virtual COM port for the PC. Via this port, the unit can be
controlled as a normal RS232 interface, e. g. with a terminal program or user application
program. Corresponding virtual com drivers (VCP drivers) for all Windows 8 and Windows 10
operating systems are available for download at the following URL:

Refer to the section 8, “USB Driver Installation” for further setup and configuration
information.
5.12.3
LAN Interface (Option)
The power source can be ordered with a LAN (Ethernet) interface. The LAN interface option
is located on the rear panel in place of the standard USB port.
The Ethernet Card option provides RS232 and Ethernet communication, as well as a barcode
connector. The Ethernet Card has three input/output ports, shown in the figure below:
Figure 5-15: LAN Option Connectors
The port labeled “Barcode” is a PS/2-type connector that is not active on the CFS Series
models.
The Ethernet port is for use with a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable and may be connected to
any Ethernet network or directly to a PC’s Ethernet port. The Ethernet interface provides all
of the control functions of the standard RS-232 and USB interfaces. Refer to section 9, “LAN
Interface Configuration” on page 116 for network and port configuration setup information.
The 9-pin D- type subminiature connector labeled “RS232” is the same as covered in Section
5.12.1, "RS232 Serial Interface”.
5.12.4
GPIB Interface (Special Order)
GPIB connection is via a 24pin IEEE-488 Centronics connector on the rear panel of the unit.
This interface option allows the unit to be connected to a GPIB controller and other GPIB
