GbE2
GbE2 on the circular connector is converted from a USB 3.0 port through a USB3.0 to GbE chip. See
Table 2: Chip List. This Ethernet port is typically labeled eth1 in the system network manager but this
depends on other network interface ports which might be implemented by the user. Both ports can be
independently controlled via command line or using the networking GUI windows. See Appendix D for
additional information related to the LAN7800 Ethernet port.
Serial
The DuraCOR has a number of serial ports available for use. There is a dedicated console port for
headless operation, in addition to two (2) multiprotocol ports. See Appendix B, Bit Port, for information
about configuring the multiprotocol ports for RS232, RS485, or RS422.
BIT Port
The BIT port is an RS-232 port, using TX, RX, and GND only. No other signals are required. The bit port
can be used to configure the multiprotocol serial ports, flash memory of the C312. See Appendix B, Bit
Port.
To connect to the console port, configure the host computer using the following settings on a serial
terminal emulator (i.e. minicom, teraterm, etc.)
Baud: 115200
Data: 8 bit
Parity: None
Stop: 1
Flow Control: off
Console
The console is a RS-232 port, using TX, RX, and GND only. No other signals are required. The console
port can be used to configure the DuraCOR 312 as would be done using a terminal window, however, no
display is required.
To connect to the console port, configure the host computer using the following settings on a serial
terminal emulator (i.e. minicom, teraterm, etc.)
Baud: 115200
Data: 8 bit
Parity: None
Stop: 1
Flow Control: off
Note: if using the lab cables set provided by Curtiss-Wright, the use of a null modem is not required. If a
custom cable set is used, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure proper connection to the device.
See Chapter 3 for connector pinout.
Multiprotocol Ports
The DuraCOR 312 has two (2) external multiprotocol ports available. These multiprotocol ports can be
configured to operate as RS-232/422/485. This can be done at the factory or by the user. By default,
these ports are set to RS-232 mode with following settings:
