(standard) and Null-Modem cable. Please make sure the DB9/RS-232 cables match the below
constriction:
Serial Device to ICS-10x/Remote (Slave) – Use the original RS-232 serial cable attached in the
serial device package.
Host / Client to ICS-10x/Local (Master) – It has to use the Null-Modem cable!
Users can use the Null-Modem cable directly connect to the ICS-10x (Master), or use the Null-Modem
DB9 connector, as the picture shows:
Once the Pair Connection mode of two ICS-10x be correctly configured but still fail link, check the
Allow the ICS-10x to connect actively to the remote host whose IP address is
set by this parameter.
The TCP port that ICS-10x uses to listen to connections and that other device
must use to contact ICS-10x. To avoid conflicts with well known TCP ports, the
default is set to "23".
