User-Supplied Items
To complete your EDS8/16/32PR installation, you need the following items:
RS-232 serial devices that require network connectivity. Each EDS8/16/32PR serial port
supports a directly connected RS-232 serial device.
A serial cable for each serial device. All devices attached to the EDS device ports must
support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. Category 5 cabling with RJ45 connections is used
for the device port connections.
Note: To connect an EDS8/16/32PR serial port to a DTE device, you need a DTE cable,
such as the one supplied in your EDS8/16/32PR package, or an RJ45 patch cable and
DTE adapter. To connect the EDS8/16/32PR serial port to a DCE device, you need a DCE
(modem) cable, or an RJ45 patch cable and DTE adapter.
