Serial Remote Control operation
The CABCONS1716I offers a unique way to expand the functionality of the base
product. Using the integrated R-Port on the rear panel, you can manage up to 16
serial devices using a specialized daisy-chain technology. The CABCONS1716I includes
integrated control functionality that allows you to monitor and configure serial
devices using the interactive Web interface. To minimize space and infrastructure
requirements, the R-Port modules use a single cable to carry both power and the data
signal. All configuration settings are stored separately in each attached device in non-
volatile memory so that they will not be lost in the event of a power outage
or disconnection.
