4.4 Using a Direct Connection to I/NET
The Xenta 527-NPR is intended for use on an Ethernet LAN. However,
you can also directly connect an I/NET host workstation to the
RS-232 A port on the front of the Xenta 527-NPR. This allows the
directly connected I/NET host to communicate with devices on the
Xenta 527-NPR’s controller LAN. This type of connection can also be
used when you are configuring the Xenta 527-NPR’s communication
parameters.

NPR, you must connect a cable from the workstation’s serial COM port
to the Xenta 527-NPR’s RS-232 B port. TAC Xenta Programming
Serial Kit 007309200 provides that adapters and cables required for this
type of connection, as well as for a console connection. to the Xenta
527-NPR’s RS-232 B port.
Once you have connected an I/NET host workstation to Xenta 527-
NPR, set I/NET’s link type to “NetPlus Router” in the I/NET Configu-
ration editor. Refer to TCON298, I/NET Seven Getting Started, for com-
plete instructions.
