3.2.2CONNECTION VIA A 500-16-03 DOWNLOAD CONVERTER BOX

A single frame (96 port) Commander system has two interfaces which may be used for downloading configuration data:

•Serial port (RS232/422)

•High speed (20MB/s) transputer port

With a standalone system, the RS232 connection is sufficient (see 3.2.1). In a multi-system environment, this serial port is required to pass networking information, and can no longer be used for configuration data. See section 4.2. Therefore, a 500-16-03 Converter should be used, between the PC serial port and the Commander high speed port.

Two connection cables are required.

The PC cable is a pin to pin 9 way cable with male connecting to the RS232 port on the Interface box and the female connecting to the PC Com port. For short cable runs of a few meters ribbon cable is acceptable, for longer runs please use screened CAT5 cable. Screen is connected to pin 3, cable pairs are 1/6, 2/7, 4/8, 5/9.

The Link cable for Commander downloads is also a pin to pin 9 way cable, but with a female connector at both ends. For short cable runs of less than one meter ribbon cable is acceptable, for longer runs please use screened CAT5 cable. Screen is connected to pin 3, cable pairs are 1/6, 2/7, 4/8, 5/9.
