Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the EM-1240-LX’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other
end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the EM-1240-LX will
indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
y The top-right LED on the connector glows a solid green when connected to a 100 Mbps
Ethernet network.
y The top-left LED on the connector glows a solid orange when connected to a 10 Mbps
Ethernet network.
y The LEDs will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN 1 and LAN 2 ports use 8-pin RJ45 connectors. Pinouts for these
ports are given in the following diagram.

Connecting to a Serial Device
Connect the serial cable between the EM-1240-LX and the serial device(s).
Serial ports P1 and P2 use male DB9 connectors, and can be configured for RS-232/422/485 by
software. The pin assignments are shown in the following table:
