Serial System

JUPITER L-S and LCD Series Control Panel Instruction Manual
The L-S and LCD Panels can be connected to the CM-4000 System Con-
troller via a 115k Baud serial bus or via a Cat 5 Ethernet connection. It is also
possible to combine these methods by connecting some panels through a
Serial port and others through the LAN. Each of these options is described
below.
The Serial arrangement assumes that the L-S or LCD Panels will be oper-
ated in Serial mode, with the LAN only connected to one panel at a time
and only during software upgrades. In this arrangement, it isn't necessary
to have a different IP address for each panel.
An example of a system where the L-S or LCD Panels will be operated in
Serial mode (the temporary LAN connections are for software upgrade) is
shown below in Figure 30 .
