SmartX AS-B Server Communication Ports
A SmartX AS-B server has the following communication ports:
2 Ethernet 10/100 megabit ports
1 RS-485 port
1 USB host port
1 USB device port

The Ethernet communication is performed over a 10/100BaseTX, 10 or 100 Mbit/s, twisted pair network. The SmartX AS-B servers have two Ethernet ports with RJ45 connectors.
The two Ethernet ports can be configured in three different modes: switching enabled, second port disabled, or dual IP networks. One port should be connected to the site network. When switching between the two ports is enabled, the other port can be used to connect computers running WorkStation or WebStation, Modbus TCP units, or BACnet/IP devices such as MP Series controllers, but not another EcoStruxure BMS server. To limit access to the system, you can disconnect the second port. When the two ports are configured in dual IP mode, you can connect a separate network of MP Series controllers to the second port and the SmartX server can be configured as a DHCP server. You can lock the private DHCP network on the second port to select which DHCP clients can communicate with the DHCP server.
There is one USB host port to connect to external devices. The USB device port on the front is intended for program download from a PC by means of Device Administrator. The port is connected to a PC or a downstream port of a hub.
