Connecting Rover to a Device
Connecting Using Alligator Clips
To connect Rover to a device using alligator clips:
1. Connect the supplied USB cable between the PC and the USB LonTalk adapter (Figure 3).
2. Connect the USB cable adapter to the USB LonTalk adapter. The adapter should click easily into
the card. If you have to use force, the adapter may be upside down.
3. Connect the RJ11 plug on the other end of the cable adapter to the RJ11 jack on the protection
module.
4. Clip the alligator clips on the protection module to the device communications terminals (or
connect to the communications link at another location). The link is not polarity sensitive.
5. Test the communications link. Refer to “Verifying Network Communications,” p. 15.
