The interface bus is wired to the access panel by using standard CAT 6E/7 (S)/
FTP/UTP cable with RJ45 plug (J16) on the panel. The interface bus has a fixed
baud rate and communicates to the downstream I/O devices using a polling tech-
nique.
Each downstream I/O device needs to have a unique address for proper communi-
cation. Each one also has some configuration jumpers that need to be positioned
correctly. The following table lists the DIP switch and jumper settings for the NX4IN
and NX4OUT downstream devices.
