To complete your EDS4100 installation, you will need the following items:
RS-232 and/or RS-422/485 serial devices that require network connectivity:
− Each EDS4100 serial port supports a directly connected RS-232 serial
device.
− Ports 1 and 3 also support RS-422/485 and can accommodate 31 RS-485
multi-drop devices per port, for a total of 62 multi-drop devices.
A serial cable for each serial device to be connected to the EDS4100. One end of the
cable must have a female DB9 connector to connect to the EDS4100 serial port. The
connector on the other end must be configured for your serial device.
Note: To connect an EDS4100 serial port to another DTE device, you will need a
null modem cable, such as the one supplied in your EDS4100 package. To
connect the EDS4100 serial port to a DCE device, you will need a straight-
through (modem) cable.
An available connection to your Ethernet network and an Ethernet cable.
