RLX-FHE/RLX-FHES
5.4.1 RLX-FHE External Connections
The RadioLinx RLX-FHE and RLX-FHES radio modems can communicate with
its assigned device using the ethernet port. The alternate RS232 port is provided
to allow the user to configure the radio as well as perform diagnostics using the
Setup & Diagnostic software. The RS232 mode can also be used to
communicate with most RS232 device.
The RLX-FHE and RLX-FHES models are enclosed within a din rail mount
enclosure for ease of mounting alongside industrial devices that its communicate
with. Descriptions of the connectors and LED indicators follow this illustration of
the RadioLinx RLX-FHE/RLX-FHES models:
From left to right along the bottom of the radio enclosure:
Input power connector (Cage-clamp style connector). The input voltage range
is 6 to 28 VDC. An earth-ground connection can be connected to any power
supply earth ground or the chassis ground of an enclosure or cabinet in
various industrial applications.
Ethernet connector. This connector supports category 5 or better Cross-Over
or Straight-Thru Ethernet cables. Refer to Cable Specifications: Cross-Over
or Straight-Thru (page 46) for which cable to use.
