DB-9 Pinouts for RS-485 Connection 

Four Wire (full duplex multidrop) 

Two Wire (1/2 duplex) 

 

 

 

Note:

  The  flow  signals,  RTS  and  CTS,  should  be  connected  as  per  diagram  when  unused  to  prevent  loss  of 

performance on the FieldServer.   

For  users  who  do  not  wish  to  construct  their  own  connector,  we  recommend  using  a  DB-9  to  screw  block 
connector which can be purchased from L-Com, Inc.

Ethernet Connection 

The FS-X25 Ethernet port automatically senses an uplink connection, and may therefore be connected to a PC or a 
hub/switch using either a crossover cable (not supplied) or a direct Ethernet cable (supplied).
