Serial Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RS416 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 RUGGEDCOM RS416 . For
more information, refer to the
RUGGEDCOM RS416 User Guide
for the RUGGEDCOM
RS416.
Note
For information about how to connect devices configured to run in RS485 mode,
refer to
"Connecting Multiple RS485 Devices (Page 29)"
.
All serial ports feature an LED that indicates the current state of the port.
