RS-232 Connection
The EDS-510A has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on the
top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 (see the cable following wiring
diagrams) to connect the EDS-510A’s console port to your PC’s COM port.
You may then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa PComm
Terminal Emulator, to access the EDS-510A’s console configuration
utility.

RJ45 (10-pin) to DB9 (F) Cable Wiring
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the EDS-510A’s front panel are
used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users configure these
ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are
adjusted automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used
(straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or
HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.
In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
