5.4.2 RS-232 Configuration/Debug Port
This port is physically an RJ45 connection. An RJ45 to DB-9 adapter cable is
included with the module. This port permits a PC-based terminal emulation
program to view configuration and status data in the module and to control the
module. The cable pinout for communications on this port is shown in the
following diagram.
Disabling the RSLinx Driver for the Com Port on the PC
The communication port driver in RSLinx can occasionally prevent other
applications from using the PC’s COM port. If you are not able to connect to the
module’s configuration/debug port using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB),
HyperTerminal or another terminal emulator, follow these steps to disable the
RSLinx driver.
1 Open RSLinx and go to C OMMUNICATIONS > RSW HO .
2 Make sure that you are not actively browsing using the driver that you wish to
stop. The following shows an actively browsed network.
