J.1 Parallel Information

Lantronix uses standard Centronics parallel connectors.

For optimum performance of your Server, Lantronix recommends the use of high quality parallel cables. Choose one of the following:

„A Lantronix parallel port cable, part number #500-011 (6 feet).

„Any other brand of IEEE Std 1284-1994compliant cable. Compliant cables can easily be identified by the permanent label IEEE Std 1284-1994 compliant on the cable itself.

NOTE: Non-compliant cables have the same type of connectors but different electrical characteristics.

J.2 Serial Information

Lantronix servers are RS-423 compliant, and are thus limited by the equipment at the remote end of the serial line. If the Server is connected to an RS-232 device, it is subject to RS-232 limits: 15m (50 ft.) in length at 9600 baud, and to 2m (6 ft.) at 115.2K baud, although they will generally work at longer lengths.
