Using the EXT MGMT Port as a Serial Port
Although the iMcV-FiberLinX does not include a DB-9 serial port, the
supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter can be used on the EXT MGMT port to
perform serial port configuration. This adapter uses an IBM-compatible
DB-9 serial connector.
To connect the iMcV-FiberLinX to a terminal/computer, use a straight-
through (pin-to-pin) cable. (If the computer/terminal has a COM port using
a connection not compatible with a DB-9 connector, use the pin connec-
tion chart for reference in making a cable.) The cable length should be
under 50 ft. (15.24 m). Plug one end of the cable into the DB-9 connec-
tor on the iMcV-FiberLinX and the other into the appropriate port on the
computer/terminal. Set the computer/terminal for VT-100 emulation. The
serial port on the computer/terminal should be set for:
38.4K baud , 8 data
bits , 1 stop bit , no parity and no flow control .
