Installing the CoBox-FL-IAP 

The following connection diagram shows a typical CoBox-FL-IAP used to attach serial 
devices to a network.

Figure 2-3:  CoBox-FL-IAP Connected to Serial Device and Network

To install the CoBox-FL-IAP, complete the following steps in order. Refer to the numbers 
in the previous figure.

1

Connect a serial device to the CoBox-FL-IAP. See Appendix F, Pinouts, for more 
information about the kinds of device attachments the CoBox-FL-IAP supports.

2

Connect a second serial device to the CoBox-FL-IAP (optional).

3

Connect an Ethernet cable to either the 10BASE-FL OR the10BASE-T Ethernet 
port. When connecting to the 10BASE-FL, connect the receiving cable to the Rx 
port and the transmitting cable to the Tx port.

Note:

Do not attempt to connect both Ethernet ports simultaneously. Only 
one Ethernet connection can be made at any one time.

4

Supply power to the CoBox-FL-IAP using the power supply that was included in the 
packaging.

Note:

The required input voltage is 9-30VDC or 9-25VAC.

5

Supply power to the serial devices.
