mounting brackets for mounting the device vertically, for example on a wall. If using AC power,
avoid outlets controlled by a wall switch.
Observe the following guidelines when connecting the serial devices:
The EDS2100 serial ports support RS-232/422/485 devices.
The null modem cable is the best cable to connect the serial port to another DTE device. The
straight-though (modem) cable is the best cable to connect the serial port to a DCE device.
