SERIAL CONNECTION
communications parameters to match the
RPC. RPC factory serial communications
parameters are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, and no parity.
The RPC Series has an RJ-45 port
for connecting to a local EIA-232 device,
such as a computer terminal or external
modem. Most serial computers do not have
RJ-45 connections; therefore, an adapter is
provided with this unit to convert from a
DE-9 connector to a RJ-45 connector
(BayTech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-1). If you are
connecting to a modem, use a modem
adapter (BayTech Part No. 25MRJ45MD-8).
Using the 9FRJ45PC-1 adapter (or other
applicable adapter) and the RJ08X007
crossed cable, connect the serial port of your
computer to the RJ-45 port labeled “EIA-
232” on the back of your RPC unit.
REMOTE ACCESS
The RPC Series has an Ethernet

port for connecting to a network.

either the serial or Ethernet port..
Once you have configured the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway through the
serial port, a network connection can be
