6.10.5 Multipurpose Data Cable
In order to access both the Radio and Wayside Data, you will
need a specially-wired cable. Note that the pinouts used do not
conform to the standard usage for RS-232 connections.
A wiring diagram for such a Multipurpose Cable is shown in
Figure 6-13. The cable itself is shown in Figure 6-14. A
multipurpose Cable is available from Vislink (part number
907854-1).
Note that you may have to modify this design depending on
whether the external equipment using the Wayside Data is
configured to be a DTE device or a DCE device.
6.10.6 Networking
The RS-232 port on the Strata RX can also be connected to a
network if desired. This allows both monitoring and programming
the Strata RX from a remote location.
To connect the RX to a network, you will need the items
described below. Refer to Figure 6-11.
• Device Server
There are several types on the market. Also called Serial-
to-Ethernet converters, they take serial RS-232 data and
convert it to the format needed for an Ethernet network.
One type we have used with success is the Lantronix
UDS-10. It accepts data via a DB-25 connector, and
connects to the network via an RJ-45 connector. See
Figure 6-10.
• Interface Cable
This cable needs to connect to the Strata RX data
connector (DB-9) on one end and connect to the device
server on the other (a DB-25 connector in the case of the
UDS-10).
This is a custom cable which you will have to fabricate.
See Figure 6-12 for the connections on the Strata end.
