RS232 Connectors And Cables
There are two 10 pin connectors (2x5 Headers) which are used as the RS232 port cable connectors. These
connectors are the same type used for the second serial port I/O Extension-X.2 of PC compatible machines.
The connectors are labeled "SPA" and "SPB" (refer to Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-3 for location) for Serial Port A
and Serial Port B respectively. Both RS232 ports on the Condor are configured as Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE).
Installing The Cable(s) And Board
1.
Ensure that you have the correct cables for your configuration. (Refer to "Cabling Procedure", above).
2.
Make sure that the system and all peripherals are turned OFF.
3.
Carefully slide the Condor into the VMEbus card slot. It should slide all the way in without any difficulty.
If it doesn’t, pull it out and check to make sure that there are no cables in the way.
4.
Once the board is properly seated in the slot, tighten the captive mounting screws on each end of the front
panel.
5.
Connect Ethernet devices to the cable(s), following the directions given by the device manufacturers.
