Communication Connections - Moxa Technologies EtherDevice Hardware Installation Manual

Communication Connections

All models of Moxa EtherDevice Server have one RJ45 console
port (RS-232 interface), and between six and eight 10/100BaseTX
Ethernet ports. Some models also have one or two 100BaseFX
(SC-type connector) fiber ports.
In this section, we present two types of diagrams—Pinout
Diagrams and Cable Wiring Diagrams—to convey information
about the ports and the cables used to connect Moxa EtherDevice
Server to other devices:

MOXA EtherDevice Server Hardware Installation Guide
The meaning of the "Pinouts" diagrams is
straightforward—the diagrams simply display the type
of signal passing through each of the port's pins.
Diagrams labeled "Cable Wiring" present standard
cable wiring schemes for cables used to connect
Moxa EtherDevice Server's ports to other devices.
These diagrams display three pieces of information:
1. When building your own cable, refer to the
"pin-to-pin" Cable Wiring information displayed
between the two vertical dashed lines to learn
which pin of the left connector should be
connected to which pin of the right connector.
2. The information to the left of the left vertical
dashed lines gives the pinouts of the relevant
Moxa EtherDevice Server port.
3. The information to the right of the right vertical
dashed line gives the pinouts of the opposing
device's port.
