XPress-DR+

PINOUTS

The XPress-DR+ supports RS-232 via RJ45 connectors. It also supports RS-422/485
via screw terminals (Serial Port 2 only).

Note:

Serial Port 2 supports RS232, RS422, and RS485, but only one mode at a time.

This means you can use either the RJ45 connector or the terminal block, not both.

The serial RJ45 serial connectors support RS232, up to 230,400 bits per second.

The supplied Lantronix P/N: 500-103 serial cable can be used to connect port 1 
of XPress-DR+ to a PC’s com port for configuration using a terminal emulation
application. Refer to the XPress-DR+ Users Guide for information on configuring
the XPress-DR+ thought the serial interface.
