The receiver port reports the status of the link from the transmitter.
j. For remote control of a unit and loading firmware, connect a host device, such as a computer or control system, to
either of the following ports on the unit to be controlled:
Configuration port — A front panel mini USB connector.
Remote RS-232 port — The rear panel Remote RS-232 3-pole captive screw connector. The protocol for the Remote
