5. HARDWARE

After configuring LoggerNet or PC208W and the DM485s, you are ready
to set up hardware. Attach the null modem cable to the RS-232 ports of
the digital cellular modem and the base MD485. Attach the wall
transformer to the DC Pwr jack of the base MD485.

Remote MD485s normally connect to datalogger CS I/O ports via SC12
cables. Powering up the datalogger will start the MD485 operating.
Connect the CABLE2TP cable between the RS-485 ports of the base and
remote MD485 s and you are ready to connect to the datalogger.
