Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the ROS console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RS900L. Serial Console Port Connect a PC or terminal directly to the serial console port to access the boot-time control and ROS console interface.
Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards.
To determine which ports are equipped on the device, refer to the factory data file available through ROS . For more information on how to access the factory data file, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RS900L.
Chapter 3 RUGGEDCOM RS900L Communication Ports Installation Guide WARNING! Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ45 receptacles at either end.
