RS-232 Connection
The AWK-4131A has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located on the
bottom panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to
connect the AWK-4131A’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may
then use a console terminal program to access the AWK-4131A for
console configuration.

NOTE
1. The pin numbers for the DB9 and DB25 male connectors, and
hole numbers for the DB9 and DB25 female connectors are
labeled on the connector strip. However, the numbers are
typically quite small, so you may need to use a magnifying
glass to see the numbers clearly.
2.
The pin numbers for both the 8-pin and 10-pin RJ45
connectors (and ports) are typically not labeled on the
connector strip (or port). Refer to the p
inout diagram above
for details.
ATTENTION
To ensure the IP68
-rated connectivity, you must use a
waterproof housing during any communication activities. An
IP68
-rated field installable plug, which is provided in
AWK
-4131A’s accessory pack, may be needed in this case. The
installation instructions are shown below.
