Optional – To control an RS232 device (such as
a monitor) on one of your 5150 decoders with
an RS232 controller connected to an encoder
or with an RS232 controller sending commands
over the network.
ƒ 5150 encoder – Connect one end of your
RS232 serial cable to the connector on your
encoder. Connect the other end of the serial
cable to your RS232 control device.
ƒ If your encoder is set to use the
Relayed serial
over IP
feature in PowerStream Plus, use a
straight through serial cable to connect
your RS232 control device to your encoder.
ƒ If your encoder is set to use the
Direct serial
over IP
feature in PowerStream Plus, use the
opposite of the serial cable required by your
RS232 device. (For example, if your RS232
device requires a null modem cable, use a
straight through cable instead.)
ƒ 5150 decoder – Connect one end of your
RS232 serial cable to the connector on your
decoder. Connect the other end of the serial
cable to your RS232 control device. For this
connection, use the serial cable (null modem
or straight through) required by your RS232
device.
If your RS232 device has a DB25 connector,
use a DE9 (also known as a DB9) to DB25
converter to connect your device to this
connector.
