Data Port
The Data Port RJ-45 connector provides RS485 signals. Changing the
instrument communication mode requires changing its physical
configuration. If the LWS Network Adapter will be used to attach the
REMOTE4-PN to an Ethernet network or the instrument must operate
in a mode other than RS485 MODBUS, contact Lighthouse Technical
Support for more information. Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 illustrate RJ45
pins and the signals assigned.
