Installation, SUB-CHANNEL Connections | Patton electronic 3058

4.0 INSTALLATION

This section describes how to connect each Model 305X to the RS-

232 or RS-422 sub-channel devices, to another Model 305X over the main channel, and to the power supply.

4.1 .2 SUB-CHANNEL CONNECTIONS

The RJ-45 female sub-channel ports on the back of the Model 3054, 3056, and 3058 are labeled 1 - 4 (Model 3054), 1 - 6 (Model 3056) and 1 - 8 (Model 3058). Each sub-channel port designates single communication path from the local multiplexer to the remote multiplexer. That is, the serial device connected to port 1 on the local multiplexer will communicate with the serial device that is connected to port 1 on the remote multiplexer. Figure 3 shows the port connections on the rear of the Model 3058.

4.1.1 RS-232 Sub-Channel Connections

The Model 305X Series multiplex and de-multiplex data signals from four, six, or eight EIA-232 DTE (terminals, PCs) DCE (modems) devices. Most DTE and DCE devices use a D-Sub 25 or D-Sub 9 connector to transmit and receive data as well as operate flow control. Since the sub-channel ports on the Model 305X Series are modular RJ- 45 jacks, you will need an adapter cable to make the proper connections.. Figure 4, below, shows the pin assignments on the RJ- 45 sub-channel modular jack.

*NOTE: Hardware flow control signals are available only on RS-232 Versions of Models 3054AR and 3056AR (See Section 4.2.4 Flow Control Requirements).

Every RS-232 serial device connected to a Model 305X Series unit sub-channel must have a special interface cable. On one end, this interface cable must have an RJ-45 male plug; on the other end, the cable must have a connector that adapts to your RS-232 serial device. The diagrams below show pin connections between the Model 305X sub-channels and common RS-232 interfaces. You may use these diagrams to construct your own cables, or you may purchase cables from Patton Electronics.
