2.3.3 Network connection and remote communications
The Cordex system can be set up, monitored, and tested over an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T serial data connection.
The controller includes a web server that provides easy set up and monitoring over an Internet connection to a
web browser.
Craft port
A DB9 COM port on the front panel provides computer to CXC communication over an RS-232 serial data con-
nection (PPP) using a null modem cable connected to the Craft port (front panel RS-232).
Ethernet port
An Ethernet port is located inside the front panel. This port is designed to connect the controller to a user sup-
plied TCP/IP network. Use a standard RJ-45 jack with a standard network cable.
The Ethernet port can be used for local access, for example to a laptop computer. Use a standard network cross-
over cable for the connection.
Internal CAN Bus
A CAN bus is used to transmit all alarm and control functions between the controller and BDFBs and also to pro-
vide communication between the shunt mux and the controller.
A single CAN Serial port, for communications with other BDFBs is located inside the front panel next to the Eth-
ernet port.
