Connecting RJ45 Devices

You can use this information to connect serial devices to RJ45 connectors.
1. Connect your serial devices to the appropriate serial port on the DeviceMaster using the appropriate
cable.
Note: Refer to the hardware manufacturer's installation documentation if
you need help with connector pin outs or cabling for the peripheral
device.
2. If the DeviceMaster has RX/TX LEDs, verify that the devices are
communicating properly.
The RX (yellow) and TX (green) LEDs function accordingly when the cable is
attached properly to a serial device.
• After power cycling the DeviceMaster, the RX/TX LEDs are off.
• The LEDs do not function as described until the port has been opened by an application. You can use
