mini force clamp must be pressed downward and the cable end be completely introduced. Examine
the firm tightness of the cables.
Follow the steps described below (“Portux Panel-PC with aluminium-case”) to connect the Portux
Panel-PC to a PC.
3.4. Portux Panel-PC with aluminium-case
Connect the first serial interface off the Portux Panel-PC (marked as RS232-1) using the DBGU
adapter (the DBGU adapter converts the RS232-1 slot from DGBU to standard RS232 pinout) and
the null modem cable to an available serial interface on the computer to which you want to create a
connection.
Next, connect the Portux Panel-PC to the included power pack. This concludes the hardware setup.
Before you turn on the Portux Panel-PC for the first time, start a terminal emulation program on the
connected computer as described below (“Creating a terminal connection to a PC”).
3.5. Panel-Card
Connect a null modem cable from you PC to the first serial port (RS232-1). Due to the fact that the
first serial port provides 2 RS232 interfaces, it is required to connect the DBGU atapter to RS232-1
and then connect the serial cable to the DBGU adapter to access the first serial interface (debug
port).
Next, connect the Panel-Card to the power pack. This concludes the hardware setup. Before you
turn on the Panel-Card for the first time, start a terminal emulation program on the connected
computer as described below (“Creating a terminal connection to a PC”).
Attention:
Removing the Panel-Card from the baseboard should be done with care and only when
absolutely essential.
Because if the Panel-Card is cant, the spring contacts will be damaged.
When the spring contacts are damaged, the pins of the baseboard don't have electric contact to the
Panel-Card. In this case the Panel-Card won't be functioning any more.
