EIA/TIA-232 (RS-232) Interface

You only need the EIA/TIA-232 interface when you are setting the initial IP address of the NCB module. Two pins of the MA interface host the EIA/TIA-232 port; therefore, access the EIA/TIA-232 using the EIA/TIA-232 cable that is included with the ONS 15252 MCU. After you have set the IP address, you can communicate with the NCB module through the Ethernet port located on the front of the NCB.

Figure 4-2 on page 4-5illustrates EIA/TIA-232 interface access and Ethernet access to the ONS 15252 MCU.

After you have assigned an IP address to the NCB module, you can also send information to the NCB module by file transfer protocol (FTP). Set the EIA/TIA-232 interface to the parameters listed in Table 4-1. Set the terminal settings to ASCII (send line end with line feed).
