1.1.8 Supervisory Port
A Supervisory cable connects the BANDIT III’s DB9 Supervisory port to the DB9 serial port
of a computer with a control console (such as a PC).
Note: If the Supervisory connection is through a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on the
control console computer (such as a personal computer, PC), use an appropriate adapter—
for example, a DB9-to-USB adapter.
If you wish, you can give the BANDIT III an IP address; then you can configure and monitor
the BANDIT III over the LAN. This frees the DB9 Supervisory port for use as an additional
serial port for legacy applications.
For specifications of the DB9 serial port, see Section A.1.1, DB9 Supervisory Port , in BANDIT
III Hardware Specifications .
1.1.9 Standard Network Ports
The following sections discuss the BANDIT products’ port connections to network devices.
• Section 1.1.9.1, Ethernet Ports
• Section 1.1.9.2, Modem Port
• Section 1.1.9.3, Serial Port
• Section 1.1.9.4, Wireless Ports
Also see Section 1.1.10, Expansion Ports .
Note: The BANDIT’s data ports can be configured in the software. The data rates for
synchronous and asynchronous data ports are shown in Table A-10 and Table A-11 .
1.1.9.1 Ethernet Ports
The BANDIT III has one WAN Ethernet port and three LAN Ethernet ports. The external
expansion slot can hold an additional Ethernet port. Each 10/100-Base-T Ethernet connection
is implemented over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wire, using a standard RJ45 connector.
Figure A-3 shows the RJ45 connector pins. Table A-3 lists the RJ45 pin configuration.
See the following sections:
• Section 1.1.9.1.1, The WAN Ethernet Port
• Section 1.1.9.1.2, The LAN Ethernet Port
• Section 1.2.1, Ethernet DMZ Port for the Expansion Slot
