5.1 Using the RS-232 ports to control a device via a PC
To use the RS-232 ports on the TP-573 and TP-574 to control an RS-232
device, follow these connecting rules:
If the controlled device requires a CROSSED connection:
x Use a straight cable
1
from the computer to the transmitter
x Use a straight cable
1
from the receiver to the device
If the controlled device requires a STRAIGHT connection:
x Use a straight cable
1
from the computer to the transmitter
x Use a crossed cable
2
from the receiver to the device
Never use a crossed connection to the transmitter
5.2 Wiring the CAT 5 LINE IN / LINE OUT RJ-45 Connectors
Table 3

, using a straight
pin-to-pin cable with RJ-45 connectors (note, that the cable Ground
shielding must be connected / soldered to the connector shield):

1 For a straight connection, connect pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5. If a shielded cable is used, connect the
shield to pin 5
2 For a crossed connection, connect pin 2 to pin 3, pin 3 to pin 2, and pin 5 to pin 5. If a shielded cable is used, connect the
shield to pin 5
3 CAT 6 or similar (heavier gauge) cabling can also be used
