Control Panel Specifications
8
The control panel comes standard with one external power supply (upgrade to dual redundant power) that
uses standard IEC power cords (included). In addition, there are 2 redundant 100BASE-TX Category 5
network ports for communication to the workstation. One 10ft Cat 5 crossover network cable is included with
each Slate 1000G system.
The DB 9-pin serial connection is only used for control panel firmware upgrades on older control panels. New
Slate G Series systems use the network port for control panel firmware upgrades. It is not necessary to have
a serial cable connected during normal operation.
