4.4. Console Port Connection

The Console Port is a male, DB9 connector, wired in a DTE

configuration (similar to an AT computer), which is used for

connection to a local PC or control device. Appendix A

describes the Console Port interface.

4.5. Connecting an External Modem

When connecting directly to an external modem, use a standard

DB9 AT to Modem cable. Section 5.4 describes the procedure

for defining the modem command strings. Appendix A describes

the modem port interface.

4.6. Connecting the Network Cable

The Network Port is an RJ45 Ethernet jack, for connection to a

TCP/IP network. Connect your 10Base-T cable to the Network

Port. Before attempting to access the unit via network, please

assign the IP Address, Gateway Address and Subnet Mask as

described in Section 5.6.

Note: The NPS-2HD features a 10BaseT interface.

When connecting the NPS to a 100BaseT interface,

note that most router switches will autosense to

determine if the device is 100BaseT or 10BaseT and

then configure the network interface accordingly. If

your router switch does not auto-configure for

10BaseT vs. 100BaseT, then the network interface

port must be manually set to 10BaseT.
