Appendix B Connector and Cable Diagrams On the pages that follow, you will find diagrams of the Workstation 5 I/O Panel connectors, system board connectors, and commonly used hook-up cables. A description of how each cable or connector is used is provided.
Connector and Cable Diagrams IO Panel Connectors IO Panel Connectors The following connectors are located on the Workstation 5 IO Panel. IDN Port The IDN connector is a combination RS422/RS232 port associated with COM4. This port is functionally equivalent to the RS422-A and RS422-B ports on the WS4 or WS4 LX.
Page 145
The COM5 connector is a full-featured RS232 modular COM port similar to that found on the PCWS Eclipse and 2010. Use cable P/N 300319-103 to convert this port to a DB9 connector. Figure B-3: COM5 Modular RS232 Connector Workstation 5 Setup Guide...
Connector and Cable Diagrams IO Panel Connectors Remote Customer Display Connector This port supports either the 2x20 VFD customer display or the graphics based LCD customer display. Figure B-6: Customer Display Connector Diagram Workstation 5 Setup Guide...

Board, mounting bracket and interface cable. A diagram of this interface cable is shown in Figure B-11. When the LCD Customer Display is attached directly to the Workstation 5, this cable plugs into the ‘Rear Display’ IO Panel connector shown in Figure B-13.
Page 151
The cable shown in Figure B-12 is supplied with the Pole LCD Customer Display or Adjustable Stand Pole Display kit. It attaches between the 4-pin Mini-DIN connector on the Workstation 5 I/O panel, through the pole to mate with the cable from the LCD Customer Display Housing Cable shown in Figure B-11.
Figure B-14 shows a diagram of a standard Cat 5 Ethernet hook-up cable. This cable would be connected from a workstation or server to the system hub. Figure B-14: EIA/TIA-568-A Cat 5 Ethernet Hook-up Cable Diagram B-10 Workstation 5 Setup Guide...
