Configuration Port Connector
The configuration port is the 25-pin D-Subminiature female connector on the end
of the X-gateway. The connector has a standard RS-232 DTE pin configuration.
The connections to be made are shown in Figure 2-2.
If the PC running BWConfig has a 25-pin serial port, use a 25-pin to 25-pin null-
modem (pins 2 and 3 swapped) cable to connect the PC to the X-gateway. If the
PC has a 9-pin serial port (or USB serial adapter), use a 9-pin to 25-pin straight
through cable.
Note: The Anybus X-gateway does not make use of the modem control signals
specified for a DTE connector. Connecting the module through devices, such as
isolation modules, which assume control of these lines may cause the BWConfig
communications to be unreliable.
