For applications requiring the use of 2 to 4 Sentry controllers it is necessary to utilize RS-
485 communication from the controllers to the LANServer. Each Sentry will have a 4301-10
RS-232/RS-485 converter to provide the necessary RS-485 communication from the Sentry.
This RS-485 link will interface to the RS-485 port on the LANServer. The Ethernet output
from the LANServer can then interface directly to a computer (via a crossover cable) or to
the LAN, WAN, Internet or PC via a hub. (Figure 1.3)
