Step 5: Setting Up Serial Cable Connections
RS232 serial communication enables the Command Line Interface (CLI) and
Command Line Utility (CLU) on your PC to monitor and control the VTrak. On
VTrak, RS232 communication goes through the RJ11 serial connector on each
controller.
Figure 21. A serial connector is located on the I/O module. The J310s is
shown. The J610s is similar
To set up a serial cable connection:
1.
Attach the RJ11 end of the RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable, supplied with the
VTrak, to the RJ11 serial connector on one of the I/O modules.
2. Attach a null-modem cable to the DB9 end of the RJ11-to-DB9 serial data
cable.
3. Attach the other end of the null-modem cable to a serial port on the Host PC
or Server.
If your PC has two DB9 COM ports, and your J610s or J310s unit has two I/O
modules, you can connect a second null-modem cable and RJ11-to-DB9 serial
data cable the I/O module on the right.
See “Step 4: Setting Up Data Cable Connections” on page 14 for an explanation
of which I/O module is the default primary. To verify which I/O module is the
default primary, see Chapter 3 of the VTrak J610s, J310s Product Manual on the
