D. Serial card
E. RS-485 bus
F. Secondary Ethernet
Note
In either a simplex or dual RS-485 architecture, the primary Ethernet ports can be
connected to an asset management network to provide connectivity to AMS Device
Manager or AMS Wireless Configurator.
Dual RS-485
A Dual RS-485 host connection support Modbus RTU protocol. When using this
architecture, connect the secondary Ethernet port on Gateway A directly to the secondary
Ethernet port on Gateway B. Then wire the RS-485 ports for both Gateways separately to
dual serial cards at the host system. See Figure D-6, Dual RS-485 Architecture.
