Device Interfaces

RS-232/422/485 COM Port Pinouts

The COM 1 Passthrough Port is used to pass control information between VBrick appliances over the network. The COM 1 port presents a standard DTE interface on an RJ-45 connector. The serial port operates at a default rate of 9.6 Kbps, Async, 8-Bit, No Parity, Controls = None. On some appliances, the pins on the passthrough port can be set for RS-

232or RS-422-485 (see below) using the COM Interface Type parameter on the Passthrough page in IWS. This option is available on only devices where the Part Number on the Main Board ends in 3. To determine part number, open IWS and go to Status: User Information >

Main Board > Part Number.

Note See Configuration: Passthrough in any of the VBrick Appliance Admin Guides for detailed information about Passthrough configuration.
