CONNECTING VESR9XX SERIAL SERVERS TO A NETWORK
NETWORK CONNECTION (10BASET/100BASETX)
When connecting a serial server equipped with a 10BaseT/100BaseTX network
connection
(RJ45 connector) a standard network cable is connected from the serial
server to a network drop. PCs configuring and/or communicating with the serial
server are also connected to the network.
FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION
When connecting a serial server equipped with a fiber optic interface to a fiber
optic link
the appropriate fiber optic cable must be connected between the serial
server and the network interface. Refer to the List of VESR9xx Serial Server Models at
the beginning of this manual for a list of supported fiber types, distances and
connectors.
Ethernet Pass-through Port
VESR92x serial servers are configured with an additional RJ45 network port. This port
can be used to connect additional Ethernet devices, such as a local workstation, to
the network.
