Connecting to the Device
The following describes the various methods for accessing the ROS console and Web interfaces on the device. For
more detailed instructions, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RSG2100.
RS232 Console Port
Connect a workstation directly to the RS232 console port to access the boot-time control and ROS interfaces. The
console port provides access to ROS's console and Web interfaces.
IMPORTANT!
The serial console port is intended to be used only as a temporary connection during initial
configuration or troubleshooting, and should only be used in a safe area (as defined by IEC 60079-0,
Edition 6.0).
Connection to the console port is made using an RJ45-to-DB9 console cable. The following is the pin-out for the
console port:
