4.3. Console Port Connection

The Console Port is a male, RS232C DB9 connector, wired in a DTE configuration similar to an AT computer. The Console Port can be connected to either an external modem or a local PC, but not both items at the same time. Appendix A describes the Console Port interface.

4.3.1.Connecting a Local PC

When connecting the Console Port to a Local PC, note that the port uses a DTE configuration. After the Local PC has been connected, make certain to set the Serial Port Mode to "Console" as described in Section 5.3.1.

4.3.2.Connecting an External Modem

When connecting directly to an external modem, use a standard AT to Modem cable. Make certain that the modem is initialized at the same communications parameters as the IPS Console Port (default = 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.) The modem must be set to Auto-Answer, in one ring. Please refer to the modem user’s guide for more information. Sections 5.3.1 describes the procedure for defining modem command strings.

4.4. Connecting the Network Cable

The Network Port is an RJ45 Ethernet jack, for connection to a TCP/IP network. Connect your 10Base-T cable to the Network Port. Note that the IPS-15 features a default IP address (192.168.168.168). When installing the IPS in a working network environment, it is recommended to define network parameters as described in Section 5.3.3.

Note: The IPS features a 10Base-T Interface. When connecting to a 100Base-T interface, most router switches will autosense to determine if the device is 100Base-T or 10Base-T, and then configure the network interface accordingly. If your router switch does not autosense, the network interface port must be
