RS-232 Ports
Aetos has three RJ12 connectors at the back, which are intended for three
independent RS-232 communications. And additional auxiliary RS-232 can
be established trough the service port. Figure 34 shows these ports. They are
labeled as:
ADSB-Flarm – Port 2,
Radio – Port 3,
Transponder – Port 4.
Port 1 – is auxiliary port on the service connector. All these ports are inde-
pendent. The names used next to port number are merely suggestions.

Pinout
This section describes ports 2, 3 and 4 only. See section 9.2 on page 36 for
the port 1 description.
A standard RJ12 (6P6C) plug is needed to connect to the port. The table
6 defines the pinout and figure 28 illustrates pin ordering on connector and
plug. In most cases, only pins 1, 2 and 3 are connected. Pin 6 is used only
when you use Aetos as a power source.
Please note that output power on pin 6 is limited. The maximal current of
all ports together must not exceed 500 mA.
