NOTE:
1. If using the console mode, turn DIP Switch 1 to the ON position. For data
communication from the serial device keep the switch in the OFF position. If the
switch is in the ON position, data communication will be blocked, and in the OFF
position, console port access will be blocked.
2. For some RS-422/485 devices which may not be designed to provide a DB-9
connection, please check the pin definition to connect the devices.
3. For the initial installation, you must use the console mode to setup the IP and
TCP port configuration with a RS-232 cable. Always use a cross-over cable; if
using a straight-through cable, you must use a "Null Modem" cable to use the
Telnet option.
