9.2 Data Interface Connectors—
LAN, COM1 & DATA Ports
Three data interface connectors are provided on the face of the trans-
ceiver. The first, the LAN Port, is an RJ-45 connector. The balance are
two DB-9 interface connectors which use the RS-232 (EIA-232) sig-
naling standard. Note that the connector for
COM1 Port is DCE (Female
DB-9) and the
COM2 Port is DTE (male DB-9).
The iNet 900 transceiver meets U.S.A.’s FCC Part 15, Class A limits
when used with shielded data cables.
LAN (Local Area Network) Port—RJ-45 Ethernet Interface
The LAN Port is used to connect the radio to an Ethernet network. The
iNet transceiver will provide a data link to an Internet Protocol-based
(IP) data network through the radio network’s Access Point station.
Each radio transceiver in the network must have a unique IP address for
the network to function properly. The
LAN port only supports the
Internet Protocol (IP).
