5.2.1LDM Setup Port Connection

Use the LDM Setup port to download and use the software from Liebert’s Web site for monitoring, configuration and firmware upgrades (see 5.3 - Downloading the Software). This port is not a ter- minal interface.

To connect to the LDM Setup port:

Connect one end of a standard DB9 (female-female) null modem cable to a desktop or laptop com- puter (PC).

Connect the other end of the cable to the LDM Setup port on the Liebert LDM, as shown below.

5.2.2Modbus Connection

Use the Modbus port for remote communication. The Liebert LDM supports 2- or 4-wire RS-485/422 connection (customer-installed).

To connect to the Modbus port:

Look for Connector TB1 on the BCB. This is the RS-485 Modbus port.

Refer to the following figure for proper connection points.
