Physical Port

Equates to port connector. The 4980 Controller has four internal physical ports (“A”, “B”, “C”, and “D”). It also has six connectors (“A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “LAN1”, and “LAN2”). Ports “B”, “C”, and “D” are permanently attached to the

15-pin connectors labeled “B”, “C”, and “D” respectively on the back of the controller. Port “A” is attached to either the 15-pin RS-232 connector labeled “A” or to both of the two

9-pin RS-485 connectors labeled “LAN1” and “LAN2”. Port “A” is attached to the RS-485 connectors when it is configured as a LAN port, otherwise it is attached to the RS-232 connector labeled “A.”
