RPC SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL

DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

________________________________________________________________________________

LOCAL ACCESS

Load serial port communications software.

USING EIA-232

Configure host terminal’s serial

SERIAL CONNECTION

communications parameters to match the

 

RPC. RPC factory serial communications

 

parameters are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop

 

bit, and no parity.

 

The RPC Series has an RJ-45 port

 

for connecting 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 a RJ-45 connector

 

(BayTech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-1). If you are

 

connecting to a modem, use a modem

 

adapter (BayTech Part No. 25MRJ45MD-8).

 

Using the 9FRJ45PC-1 adapter (or other

 

applicable adapter) and the RJ08X007

 

crossed cable, connect the serial port of your

 

computer to the RJ-45 port labeled “EIA-

 

232” on the back of your RPC unit.

REMOTE ACCESS

The RPC Series has an Ethernet

USING NETWORK

port for connecting to a network.

PORT CONNECTION

In order for a network connection to be

 

established, at a minimum, you must

 

configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and

 

if applicable, Gateway. Network

 

configurations must be set initially through

 

the serial port but may be modified using

 

either the serial or Ethernet port..

 

Once you have configured the IP Address,

 

Subnet Mask, and Gateway through the

 

serial port, a network connection can be
