INTRODUCTION

The RS232G is a device that allows a Niles IntelliControl® ICS system to communicate, bi-directionally, to another RS232 component or control system. It has two simple connections. The ﬁrst is a shielded CAT-5 connector, for connection to a Niles ICS system. The second is a screw down terminal strip, for connection to the included DB9 cable. Connecting RS232 de- vices has never been easier. Simply run a CAT-5 cable from the device, back to the location of the ICS system and terminate the CAT-5 with standard T568A wiring code. Next, connect the DB9 cable to the terminal strip and plug it into the device. The DB9 cable makes it easy to connect any RS232 component, no matter what the pinout-wiring conﬁguration is. Simply wire the cable according to the product speciﬁc diagram provided in the IntelliFile3® setup wizard. The RS232G gets its power from the ICS system, so no external power supply

is required.

The RS232G is another member of the family of plug-n-play Niles network devices. Plug it into an ICS system, open the IntelliFile3 wizard and the wizard discovers the RS232G. On the RS232 conﬁguration page, choose what it’s connected to from the list of approved components and plug it in. All the RS232 parameters, like Baud Rate, Parity Bits and Flow Control, are automatically set for the device and all the control screens and functions are automatically mapped to every user interface in the system.
