WTI Part No. 9 Rev. B Serial Cables & Adapters for WTI Products
. Introduction This publication describes the serial cables and snap adapters that are used to connect your RSM-R series or MPC series unit to the serial console port on various common devices. For more information on connecting devices, please refer to Section (Hardware Installation) in your User's Guide... Straight RJ- Cables and Rollover RJ- Cables All of the connection examples described in this document include the use either an RJ- Straight cable or an RJ- Rollover cable. The difference between the two types of cables is the way that the pins in the connectors at each end of the cable are linked to each other. In Straight Cables the pins on each connector are linked to the same pin number on the connector at the other end of the cable; for example, Pin on the right hand connector is linked to Pin on the left hand connector, as shown in Figure. below. For Rollover Cables, the order of the pins is reversed; Pin on the right hand connector would be linked to Pin on the left hand connector, as shown in Figure.. WTI RJ- Straight cables are available in three different models: RJX--: Feet Long RJX--: Feet Long RJX--0: 0 Feet Long WTI also offers an RJ- Rollover cable: RJ-ROLL Pin Pin Pin Pin Figure.: Straight Cables Pin Pin Pin Pin Figure.: Rollover Cables -
Introduction.. The RJ- Interface and hardware lines function as follows:. When connected: a) If either port is set for Modem Mode, the output at either port reflects the input at the other end. b) If neither port is set for Modem Mode, output is held high (active).. When not connected: a) If the port is set for Modem Mode, upon disconnect output is pulsed for 0. seconds and then held high. b) If the port is not set for Modem Mode, output is controlled by the Output option ( Parameters Menu, Option ). Upon disconnect, Option allows output to be held low, held high, or pulsed for 0. seconds and then held high.
