Instruction Manual

Operating Notes:
• If the power supply to the R-Port modules you have connected becomes faulty
(short, overload) then the R-Port LED on the front panel of the CABCONS1716I will
show red.
• Under normal operations, this light should remain green. The R-Port connector on
the rear panel also has an LED that mirrors the status of the light on the front panel.
• Hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS) is required for speeds exceeding 9600 bps. It is
enabled by default on the CABCONS1716I, but may need to be enabled on the other
end of the connection. For Unix systems, the command is:
stty –crtscts < /dev/[serial port]
• A maximum of four users may simultaneously login to the same module. All users
may type commands at any time, and all users will see the same output.
NOTE:
• All users have equal access to all channels.
• A maximum of 16 R-Port modules may be connected at any one time.
• You can plug-in or unplug any R-Port module at any time.
When reconnected, it will automatically become available after a 15 second
initialization period. Any log entries will be retained by the R-Port module while
deactivated, but will not be available to users until it is re-initialized.
