5.5.3. Ethernet (Option 63)
When installed, this option is electronically connected to the instrument’s COM2 serial port making that port no
longer available for RS-232/RS-485 communications through the COM2 connector on the rear panel. The
option consists of a Teledyne Instruments designed Ethernet card (see Figure 5-5), which is mechanically
attached to the instrument’s rear panel (see Figure 5-6). A 7-foot long CAT-5 network cable, terminated at both
ends with standard RJ-45 connectors, is included as well. Maximum communication speed is limited by the RS-
232 port to 115.2 kBaud.
