 USER CONNECTIONS FOR OPENCOMMS NIC 

Since the OpenComms NIC can use simultaneous connections, 
Up to 3 user connections are may be required: a permanent 
network connection, a Modbus 485 connection and a temporary 
serial connection for configuration/setup. 

Confer with the network administrator or other responsible party 
for arranging a network drop to the Liebert equipment.  The 
OpenComms Network card communicates via standard 10baseT 
Ethernet network connection.  Route the 10baseT cable to the 
Liebert unit and connect to J3, the RJ45 jack on the interface 
card.  The OpenComms Network card will operate with any 
10baseT Ethernet, regardless of operating system used. 

The Modbus 485 connection will use the terminals marked 
“Repeater.” (TB2) The Modbus server uses RTU protocol and 
will allow for a maximum of 32 units on 4000ft. of wire on a 
common line.  EIA-485 repeaters may be necessary in order to 
accommodate additional units or cable length.  Point availability 
may be referenced in the document, “NIC Reference Library,” 
which may be downloaded at 

www.liebert.com

 under the 

OpenComms product family.   

A serial connection to the interface card is necessary for 
configuration and setup, but does not need to be permanently 
installed.  Using a DB9F-DB9F null-modem serial cable, 
connect the “DTE Serial Port” P18 to an ASCII terminal or 
computer running terminal emulation application.  Proceed to 
configuration as detailed in Section 3.  Disconnect the serial 
connection when configuration is completed.  

Hyperterminal® 

and Procomm® are examples of terminal emulation applications 
running on Microsoft Windows® operating systems.  All
