IC6 Operating Manual
10.2.1 RS-232C Serial Port
RS-232C serial communications are accomplished through an industry standard
9-pin female connector found on the rear panel of the IC6. A mating male connector
is required for attachment of a host interface. The host and IC6 can be separated
by up to fifty feet using multiconductor shielded data cable.
The IC6 is configured as DCE (Data Communication Equipment).
NOTE: Unpredictable RS-232 hardware/software combinations may occasionally
cause a command to not be recognized by the IC6. Consequently, all
communications should include an automatic retry procedure. If a
command sent via RS-232 does not produce a response from the IC6
within three seconds, it should be sent again.
10.2.2 TCP/IP Ethernet Port
The optional TCP/IP interface supports only the Standard Ethernet TCP/IP
protocol. The IC6 will communicate via TCP/IP on TCP port number 2101. The
interface supports static addressing, DHCP is not supported. Ethernet parameters
allowed to be set are the IP address and the net mask.
10.2.2.1 Network Connection
If the IC6 is connected through a network or hub connection, a standard "straight"
ethernet cable is required.
