Remote Communications (RS-422)
Direct serial control of each channel transport on the server is available through the RJ45 ports on the breakout cable connected to the server. Ethernet communications can also be used to control a channel transport instead of the direct serial connection.

Remote Communications (RS-422)

Direct serial control of each channel transport on the server is available through the RJ45 ports on the breakout cable connected to the server. Ethernet communications can also be used to control a channel transport instead of the direct serial connection.

The first RJ45 port on the breakout cable provides control over channel transport A, the second port provides control over channel transport B, and so on.

Note: The Tria/Tria+ server can support up to 12 channel transports, but there are only 8 serial RS-422 ports. Any channel transport can be assigned to a serial port up to a maximum of 8.

Note: RJ45 to DB9 converters are provided in the installation kit if needed.

Note: The BVW-75 and Odetics protocols are not supported over ethernet at this time.

The procedure for setting up a room for external control depends on the protocol you want to use.
