Hardware Connection Tips / Hints

When using the FS-X40 ensure that the FieldServer is connected to the network using one
or both of the RS-485 ports marked R1 and R2. If more ports are required, P1-P8 may be
used in conjunction with an RS-232-to-RS-485 converter.

When using the FS-X20, ensure that the serial port is configured as an RS-485 port. Refer
to Appendix B.3 for more information.

Only one N2 Client may be connected to a N2 network. If the FieldServer is to act as a
Client, ensure that no other Clients are connected to the same N2 network.

Note: Interceptor mode is no longer supported for this driver.
