User’s Guide
Machine control ports (RJ-45) could take ordinary Ethernet cable. However, it is probable
that you will need to connect devices that have DE9 connectors. A DE9 to RJ-45 cable is
required: This is the RJ-45 to DE9 mapping for RS-422:
This cable wiring is applicable whether the port is a controlling port or controlled port. See
the CRSC User’s Guide for information about port configuration.
Installing Software
The CRSC software is optional. CRSC is required if you want to have a CRSC network. (You can
also use it to change the IP addresses of routers in a CR6400 network an NV9000 network.)
 CRConfig is obsolete and no longer available.
 We recommend that you install CRSC first before creating a network. That way you will have
a way to view the status of your network as you build it.
 CRSC comes with a compact router firmware file that you should upload to all your routers
and remote panels (if you intend to have a CRSC network.)
