The systems are considered to be Data terminal Equipment (DTE). The
signal lines that are supported are listed below.
Character Format
You can select the following character format options when you select the LIS
communication parameters in setup at the DCA Vantage system.
The stop bits are set to 1.
Ethernet Connection
TCP/IP transmission between the system and the host is established through
the system’s Ethernet network adapter using a RJ45 connector. The DCA
Vantage system only supports the system connecting to the host. The host
has to listen for connections on the TCP/IP port and needs to accept the
connection when the system tries to connect.
To connect from the ethernet port to a network, use a standard straight-
through CAT 5 cable. To connect directly to a PC, use a crossover CAT 5
cable.
