Note If a modem option card (NPB-MDM) is installed, this port becomes disabled—except if rebooted with
the mode jumper (see Figure 2 on page 6) in the “Serial Shell” position.
RS-485—An RS-485, optically isolated port uses a 3-position, screw terminal connector and always operates
as COM2. Wire to this connector with shielded 18-22AWG wiring (refer to the TIA/EIA-485 standard). As
shown in Table 3, the screw terminals (from left-to-right) are shield, plus (+), and minus (–).
USB —A single USB port is on the top board.
Note The USB port is for future use.
