There are 2 RJ45 connectors in the rear side of SPC-5200. It supports IEEE
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection delivering up to 15.4W/54V per
port (Total : 25W) and 1000BASE-T gigabit data signals over standard Ethernet
Cat 5/Cat 6 cable.
®
Each PoE connection is powered by Intel
I210 Gigabit Ethernet controller and
independent PCI express interface to connect with multi-core processor for
network and data transmit optimization. Only when PoE port starts to supply
power to power devices, the dedicated LED will be lightened.
Serial port can be configured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 with auto flow
control communication. The default definition is RS-232, but if you want to
change to RS-422 or RS-485, you can nd the settings in BIOS.
