Ethernet Connections
The Ethernet connector is a shielded RJ45 receptacle. See the AdeptNet User’s Guide
for details on AdeptNET TCP/IP, FTP, and NFS capabilities (see '( for the
location of the Ethernet connection). Adept strongly recommends the use of
shielded twisted pair cables to eliminate interferences from motor, amplifier, and
other sources of electromagnetic radiation. Ethernet packet transmissions can be
greatly impaired when shielded cable in not used.
AWC Module Serial I/O Ports
The AWC board has three serial I/O connectors, two RS-232 and one RS-422/485
port (see '(). Systems using a programmer’s terminal (ASCII) connect
through the RS-232/Term port on the AWC module.

Serial Port 1 (RS-232/TERM)
The RS-232/Term connector is an 8-pin circular mini DIN female connector (see
'(). The pin assignments and locations are shown in 94%( . This port
supports the DTR, DCD, RTS, and CTS signals used for hardware handshaking
(also known as modem control). By default, these signals are not enabled. To
configure the port speed and other communications parameters, use the
CONFIG_C utility program, the V
+
FSET program instruction, or the FSET
monitor command. This port is designated LOCAL.SERIAL:2.
