3.4 Console Port Wiring
A RS232 console port for configuration and management of the RX1000 is located
on the LED display module, as shown in Figure 17. This port is intended to be a
temporary connection during initial configuration or troubleshooting and allows for
direct access to the serial-based management console. The connection is made
using the DB9-Female to RJ45 console cable included in the device packaging
shown in Figure 18. Console connection settings are: 38400 baud, no parity bits, 8
data bits, and 1 stop bit.
