Installation guide
STEP 1: Insert the negative
(ground)/positive DI wires into the
┴/I1 terminals.
STEP 2: To keep the DI wires from
pulling loose, use a small flathead
screwdriver to tighten the
connection.
STEP 3: Insert the terminal block
connector into the receptor on the
VPort’s top panel.
Communication Connections
The VPort 251 has an RS-232 console port and a 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet
port, which both use RJ45 connectors.
RS-232 Connection
The RS-232 console port is on the top panel and uses a 10-pin RJ45 connector.
Use an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect your PC COM port to
the console port. Cable wiring diagrams are shown below. You may then use a
console terminal program, such as Moxa's PComm Terminal Emulator, to open
the VPort’s console configuration utility.
