Note:
1. When two RS-232 craft ports are specified (option A=2), a field
technician can remove the RS-232 cable from the Craft port on the
front of the Centurion II Main Module and temporarily attach
his/her terminal – remembering of course to re-connect the cable
prior to their departure.
2. When two 28.8 Kb modems are selected (option A=4), the RTU
will be supplied with a patch cord to convert the Ethernet RJ45
into an RJ11 telephone jack.
1.2.1.2 Option B – Host Reporting Protocols
The Centurion II is currently shipped with a TL 1 host protocol. Over time
additional reporting protocols may be developed and added to this selection chart.
Additional protocols will be released to all customers for RTUs covered by the
original 1-year warranty or for RTUs covered by one of our Extended Warranty
Programs.
