Connection Description

BayTech's DS72 host communication module provides an interface that controls user access to the DS Series data switch and other DS Series connected modules. The DS72 is a system data controller that directs operations between the base unit, system modules and externally connected devices.

EIA-232 SERIAL CONNECTION

The DS-Series host communications modules have an RJ-45 port which uses an 8-pin crossed modular cable to connect to a local EIA-232 device such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial computers do not have RJ-45 connections; therefore an adapter is provided with this unit to convert from a DE-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector (Bay Tech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-4).
