Making Electrical Connections
EIA-232 Communications
An EIA-232, 25-pin, D-style connector is located on the rear panel of the TSG-3800
main shelf to allow connection to a terminal. This connection is for remote
monitoring and control of the unit. From the connector to the terminal, use a
shielded cable with the shield connected to pin 1 of that connector.
The port may be configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data
Communications Equipment (DCE). The default configuration is DCE, where the
instrument is connected to a PC. The port may also be configured as DTE, when
the unit is connected to a modem.
An EIA-232 25-pin D-style connector is also located on the CPU front panel to allow
connections to a terminal. This connection is for local monitoring and control of the
unit and is a DCE configuration only.
The default EIA-232 settings for the serial ports is 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits,
1 stop bit, echo on, ASCII mode, and handshaking disabled. To change these
settings, the operator must first connect to a terminal device or PC using a serial
communications program as described in
Establishing Communications
, on page
308. The port retains the new settings until the user changes them.
Ethernet Communications
The Ethernet connection is designed for 10Base-T communication.
Table 2-5
lists
the Ethernet connector for each model of TSG,
Table 2-6
lists the pin assignments
for the connectors, and
Figure 2-11
shows the Ethernet connector pin numbers. The
RJ45 is a standard 10Base-T connector. Before using the Ethernet connection, you
must configure the TSG-3800 internet protocol (IP) address, gateway, and mask
using the serial port. See
Setting Ethernet Parameters
, on page 318, for procedures
and more information.
Note:
The DCE setting allows direct connection of the unit to a
standard PC communication port using a 1:1 cable. The DTE
setting requires a null modem cable. If connecting to a modem, use
DTE.
Note:
Before connecting to Ethernet communications, the user
must log into the unit through the serial port and configure the IP
address, gateway and subnet mask. See
Setting Ethernet
Parameters
, on page 318.
