3 RJ-45 ports Expansion In/Expansion Out ports. These ports are named E-in and
E-out. The E-in port connects to your ServSensor V4E base unit via a
CAT5e straight-through cable. The E-out port is used to daisychain
additional expansion modules via a CAT5e straight-through cable.
4 Status/Online LEDs 1–16 LEDs numbered 1–16 indicate the connectivity status of the sensors
connected to each port. These LEDs also indicate system status
during various operations.
Table 2-2. Status/Online LED functions.
Function Description
