the correct pinout. The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable
and must be properly terminated relevant to the application (see
Ethernet Control
on page
106 for termination details).

NOTES:
•
See
SIS Configuration and Control
on page 34 for definitions of the SIS
commands, and
SMX Control Software
on page 59 to install and use the
control software.
•
The SMX can support either RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol,
and can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates
(see
Operation
on page 13 to configure the RS-232/RS-422 port).
Input/Output Boards
The I/O boards on any unit may vary with each installation, depending on desired
configuration and use. All board types have the input and the output connectors clearly
marked, and each board has a 16-position rotary switcher (see
m
,
figure 2
) for setting the
I/O plane address. An LED on the board indicates when power is present.
NOTE:
Boards with the same plane address switch simultaneously.
Figure 2
shows some, but not all, board variations that can be installed into an SMX frame.
Boards have different combinations of input and output connectors, depending on the
specific board installed. To install any board into an SMX frame slot (see
SMX Frame and
I/O Board Installation
on page 10).
