6.1 DATA INTERFACE CONNECTORS
Three data interface connectors are provided on the face of the
iNET 900. The first, the LAN Port, is an RJ-45 connector. The other two
use two DB-9 interface connectors that use the RS-232 (EIA-232) sig-
naling standard. Note that the connector for
COM1 Port is DCE (Female
DB-9) and the
COM2 Port is DTE (male DB-9).
The iNET 900 unit meets U.S.A.’s FCC Part 15, Class A limits when
used with shielded data cables.
6.1.1 LAN Port
The LAN Port is used to connect the radio to an Ethernet network. The
iNET unit will provide a data link to an Internet Protocol-based (IP) data
network through the radio network’s Access Point station. Each
iNET 900 in the network must have a unique IP address for the network
to function properly.
To connect a PC directly to the radio’s
LAN port, an RJ-45 to RJ-45
straight-through cable is required. The connector uses the standard
Ethernet RJ-45 cables and wiring. For custom-made cables, use the
pinout information below.
