4.2 RJ45 Serial Port
The RJ45 Serial port is selectable via software to be RS232, RS485 or RS422.

NOTES:
1. No internal termination is provided.
2. Pins 1, 2, and 3 are connected internally. Pins 7 and 8 are connected internally. In
RS232 mode, these pins enter a high impedance state. A DTE that asserts DTR and
expects DSR or CD will operate correctly. A DTE that asserts RTS will see CTS
asserted, although the RuggedServer will not perform hardware flow control.
3. The Common terminals are optically isolated; however, there is transient voltage
protection circuitry between the Common terminals and chassis ground.
