Serial Ports
In the front of the device, the EDS-MD 4 has 4 serial ports, the
EDS-MD 8 has 8 serial ports, and the EDS-MD 16 has 16 serial
ports. All are configured as DTE and support up to 921600
baud.
Ethernet Port
The back panel of the EDS-MD 4/8/16 provides a network
interface via the “Main 1” RJ45 port. This port can connect to
an Ethernet network at 10/100/1000Base-T. The Speed LED
on the back of the EDS-MD shows the connection of the
attached Ethernet network. The EDS-MD 4/8/16 can be
configured to operate at a fixed Ethernet speed and duplex
mode (half- or full-duplex). Otherwise by default, the EDS-MD
auto-negotiates the connection to the Ethernet network.
Note:
Additional Ethernet interfaces can be enabled through the Ethernet switching
function. The EDS-MD switch includes one Ethernet up link connection and two down link
connections. See
for an example demonstrating a sample network topology
and constraints.
Note:
EDS-MD 4
has 4 RJ45 Serial
Ports and EDS-MD 8
has 8 RJ45 Serial
Ports.
