Connecting Cables

To reduce the chance of interference, avoid crossing the power cables with any of the interface cables.
Tip
Verify all cabling limitations (particularly distance) before powering on the system.
Connect the Console Port and the Auxiliary Port
The PRE module has two asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 ports for connection to a console
(an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) and modem for remote access. The
cables and adapter are included in the accessory kit.
