5.1: Communication Overview
The Nexus® 1500+ meter has many simultaneous paths for sending data to software
systems or other electronic instruments. This chapter contains instructions for using
the Nexus® 1500+ meter's standard and optional communication port capabilities.
The Nexus® 1500+ meter offers the following communication modes:
• RJ45 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection (standard)
• ANSI Optical port (standard)
• USB 2.0 connection (standard)
• Two RS485 communication ports (optional)
• Second Ethernet connection - either RJ45 or Fiber Optic (optional)
5.2: RJ45 and Fiber Ethernet Connections
The standard RJ45 connection allows a Nexus® 1500+ meter to communicate with
multiple PCs simultaneously. The RJ45 jack is located on the back of the meter. The
Nexus® 1500+ meter's Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3, 10BaseT and
100BaseT specifications using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. EIG recommends
CAT5 for cabling. For details on this connection, see Chapter 9.
The optional second Ethernet connection for the Nexus® 1500+ meter consists of
either an RJ45 (NTRJ) or a Fiber Optic (NTFO) Communication card. See Chapter 11
for details.
