Ethernet Port

The Ethernet port on the NI CVS-1459 provides a connection between the NI CVS-1459 and a
network. The NI CVS-1459 automatically detects the speed of the connection and configures
itself accordingly.

A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit)
Ethernet performance. CAT 5e and CAT 6 Ethernet cables are not guaranteed to meet the
necessary requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work at 1,000 Mbps. CAT 5 cables
can cause bit errors, resulting in degraded or unreliable network performance.

Using the Serial Port in Windows

The default serial communications driver for Windows is installed on the NI CVS-1459. The
serial port appears in the operating system as COM2. This driver is provided by Microsoft
with all Windows installations.

Use the default serial driver when the serial port is configured to RS-232 mode in the BIOS.
The default serial driver can also be used when the serial port is configured to RS-485 in Four­Wire or Auto wire modes.

The default serial driver does not allow the wire mode to be changed at run time and it does
not allow the RS-485 transceivers to be controlled manually. For full control of the RS-485
serial port, the NI-Serial for Windows driver must be installed. The serial mode, whether
RS-232 or RS-485, must be configured in the BIOS regardless of the driver used.

Refer to the National Instruments website at ni.com to download NI-Serial. Install NI-Serial

15.0 or later.

VGA Port

Use the VGA port to connect a monitor to the NI CVS-1459. Use any standard 15-pin VGA
cable to access the VGA port. The VGA port has a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 at
60 Hz.
