The DB-9 serial port(s) connect to your serial device(s) and can support RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 connections. They are
located either to the left, to either side of the Ethernet port, or on the front panel, depending on the model.

o the Internet or to your Intranet. It has two small status LEDs: Link (green) and
