Serial communications
NION supports serial communications via two female DB-9 connectors on the rear of the unit.
The first connector supports RS-232 and the second supports both RS-422 full duplex and
RS-485 half-duplex.
Follow the pinout drawings and charts below for terminating the different protocols.
Note: Only one protocol can be used on a particular port at any one time.
RS-232 serial port
Notes:
Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) are from the point of view of the MediaMatrix device.
Connect them to the opposite port of the remote unit.
Pins 7 and 8 are not required for normal operation.
