Task 7: Connecting & Configuring Devices
The iControl Application Server communicates with devices in your network over both serial
and TCP/IP connections. Once these connections are made physically (using the appropriate
cabling), the corresponding ports must be configured.
Configuring Serial Ports
In its standard configuration, the iControl Application Server has two built-in RS-232 ports
(one internal, one external). An 8-port expansion card with breakout box optionally can be
purchased to accomodate eight RS-422 serial ports.
