Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports
Fiber optic Ethernet ports are available with either MTRJ (Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack), LC (Lucent
Connector), SC (Standard or Subscriber Connector) or ST (Straight Tip) connectors. Make sure the Transmit (Tx)
and Receive (Rx) connections of each port are properly connected and matched to establish a proper link.

Section 4.4
Serial Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RS416P supports serial cards with fiber serial ST (Straight Tip) connectors, RS232/RS485/RS422
DB9 serial ports or RS232/RS485/RS422 RJ45 serial ports.
Serial DB9 and RJ45 ports can be run in RS232, RS485 or RS422 mode. They can also be ordered with IRIG-B time
code support.
NOTE
On power-up, all serial RJ45 ports default to RS485 mode. Each port can be individually set to RS232,
RS485 or RS422 mode through ROS. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for the
RUGGEDCOM RS416P.
NOTE
For information about how to connect devices configured to run in RS485 mode, refer to Section 4.6,
“Connecting Multiple RS485 Devices” .
All serial ports feature an LED that indicates the current state of the port.
