DS72 HOST MODULE OWNER’S MANUAL INTRODUCTION TO THE DS72 HOST MODULE INTRODUCTION TO THE DS72 NETWORK INTERFACE MODULE The DS72 network interface module is a primary user interface for use with the BayTech DS-Series and DS-RPC units. The DS72 allows network users operating on a device using a TCP/IP stack with an ethernet connection, to access the main DS units, serial I/O modules, and (in the case of the DS-RPC) remote power switches. It also allows remote access via external modem to the serial port.

DS72 HOST MODULE OWNER’S MANUAL CABLING CABLING RJ-45 CABLES AND ADAPTERS IMPORTANT: The DS72 network interface module has an RJ-45 port which uses an 8-pin crossed modular cable to connect to a local EIA-232 device such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial computers do not have RJ-45 connections; therefore an adapter is provided with this unit to convert from a DE-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector (Bay Tech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-4).
