Connect the RS232/RS422 converter to COM1 or COM2 of the PC and connect this via RS422 cable to the 9
pin ‘D’ on the IQ modular unit. This interface is specifically designed for third party connections into the system.
This allows PC’s or any other serial device access to any of the units within the system. Every active 1RU or
3RU box has one of these ports.
