Communications
Communication Ports The relay has three communication ports as standard.
There are three communication ports in the rear panel. The Ethernet
port is optional. The X4 connector includes two ports: local port and
extension port. The front panel RS-232 port will shut off the local
port on the rear panel when a programming cable (#857-VX003-3)
is inserted.
Note: By default the X5 is a D9S type
connector with TTL interface. The DSR
signal from the front panel port selects
the active connector for the RS232
local port.
