Step Five: Install peripheral cabling

You can connect printers, terminals, modems (or any other standard EIA- 232 device to be controlled by applications on the computer) to the EPC/CON-16 concentrator by installing a cable between the peripheral and the concentrator.

On the peripheral end of the cable, the cable connector depends on the requirements of the peripheral. The EPC/CON-16 (or PORTS/Xem mod- ule) end of the cable must fit either an RJ-45 or DB-25 connector, depending on the model you have.

The pin assignments for each type of EPC/CON-16 connector are as fol- lows:

DB-25 Pin assignments

Signal	Description	Pin
GND	Chassis Ground	1*
TxD	Transmitted Data	2
RxD	Received Data	3
RTS	Request To Send	4
CTS	Clear To Send	5
DSR	Data Set Ready	6
SG	Signal Ground	7
DCD	Data Carrier Detect	8
DTR	Data Terminal Ready	20
RI	Ring Indicator	22

*Chassis Ground is also available on the connector shell

RJ-45 pin assignments are shown on the back.

RJ-45 Pin Assignments

Signal	Description	Pin
RI	Ring Indicator	1
DSR	Data Set Ready	2†
RTS	Request To Send	3
GND	Chassis Ground	4
TxD	Transmitted Data	5
RxD	Received Data	6
SG	Signal Ground	7
CTS	Clear To Send	8
DTR	Data Terminal Ready	9
DCD	Data Carrier Detect	10

†Pin 2 can be configured for DCD (through Digi software) if you want to connect using an 8 pin

connector

Refer to the CD-ROM for more detailed cabling information.

What Next?

At this point the hardware installation for your EPC/X system is com- plete. However, since the EPC/X adapter and the EPC/CON-16 concen- trators must have software downloaded to their internal RAM before they become functional, you must next install the software drivers for your operating system.

•Read the instruction booklet for the CD-ROM that came with your system for instructions on installing software.

•View the on-line documentation on the CD-ROM for more informa- tion about your EPC/X system.

Introduction
An AccelePort® EPC/X™	system consists of an EPC/X host adapter cou-
pled with EPC/CON-16™	concentrators from which EIA-232 peripheral

devices such as printers, terminals or modems can be cabled and con- trolled. The adapter has two lines that can each support one or more con- centrators. Multiple concentrators can be linked in a chain, and Digi PORTS/8em™ , PORTS/16em™ , Modem/4em™ , and/or Modem/8em™ modules can be added to a concentrator to expand the number of ports available.

This installation guide describes how to plan your setup and install the EPC/X host adapter and concentrator hardware.
