Communications Back Module
The Communications Back Module provides an interface between communications connectors and
Resource Modules. All control ports remain inactive until, and only if, the router has fully booted and
has established communications.
Even in a powered-down state, a router connected to any communications system must not interfere
with that system, and therefore must not violate the communications standard (RS-232, RS-422, IEEE
802, etc.) when in this state.
The following connector types are available on the module:
Two Ethernet Ports (RJ 45 10/100/1000)
One Serial Port (RS 232/422)
One Sync Port (loop through HD-BNC Video Reference)
