Communication Connections
All models of EDS-516A have one RJ45 console port (RS-232 interface),
between 14 and 16 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports. Some models also have 2
100BaseFX (SC/ST-type connector) fiber ports.
In this section, we present two types of diagrams—Pinout Diagrams and
Cable Wiring Diagrams—to convey information about the ports and the
cables used to connect MOXA EDS-516A to other devices:
Pinouts
—
The meaning of the “Pinouts” diagrams is straightforward. The
diagrams simply display the type of signal passing through each of the port’s
pins.
Cable Wiring
—
Diagrams labeled “Cable Wiring” present standard cable
wiring schemes for cables used to connect MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s ports
to other devices. These diagrams display three pieces of information:
1.
When building your own cable, refer to the “pin-to-pin” Cable Wiring
information displayed between the two vertical dashed lines to see which
pin of the connector on the left should be connected to which pin of the
connector on the right.
2.
The information to the left of the left vertical dashed lines gives the
pinouts of the relevant MOXA EtherDevice Switch port.
3.
The information to the right of the right vertical dashed line gives the
pinouts of the opposing device’s port.
NOTE
1.
The pin numbers for male DB9 and DB25 connectors, and
hole numbers for female DB9 and DB25 connectors are
labeled on the connector. However, the numbers are typically
quite small, so you may need to use a magnifying glass to see
the numbers clearly.
2.
The pin numbers for both 8-pin and 10-pin RJ45 connectors
(and ports) are typically not labeled on the connector (or port).
Refer to the following Pinout and Cable Wiring diagrams to
see how RJ45 pins are numbered
