6.4.2

Modem PC Card (optional)

For dial-up networking a modem card can be inserted in the User

Interface PC Card slot on the i-PORT. This card would be used instead

of the Ethernet Card

6.4.3

RF Modem Card (optional)

For wireless networking a RF modem can be used with the i-PORT. An

IEEE 802.11 (Frequency Hopping?) card is recommended. If using an

RF modem it is necessary to use an external antenna because of the i-

PORT metal enclosure.

Note: to maintain the IP65 industrial rating all cabling must be through

the five compression cable clamps at the bottom of the i-PORT. Not all

connector types will pass through these clamps. It may be necessary to

terminate cabling after it is pulled into the i-PORT housing.

7 i-PORT Annunciator LEDs

The annunciator LEDs are for testing, and to monitor i-PORT functions.
