Note

These ports are used to connect to MAXPRO-Net RS232 or RS422 and to
VideoBloX NetCPU, Standard CPU and Lite CPU RS422.

An isolated surge protection is suggested when using RS485/RS422 and when cabling
between buildings.

Note

For MAXPRO net installations, COM1 (RS422) and COM2 (RS485) are
configured using the controller LCD menu and cannot be used at the same
time.

Note

Serial port 1 can be either RS485 or RS422. Serial port 2 is only RS232.
