The NO (Normally Open) contact is closed when the unit is powered and there are no active alarms.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Installing the Device Installation Guide NOTE Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through ROS. One common application for this relay is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RSG2488.
RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device Serial Console and Management Ports Connect a PC or terminal directly to the serial console or management ports to access the boot-time control and ROS interfaces. The serial console port provides access to ROS's console interface, while the management port provides access to ROS's console and Web interfaces.
Section 2.6.1 Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards.

RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports Communication Ports The RSG2488 can be equipped with various types of communication ports to enhance its abilities and performance. Each set of communication ports is part of a field replaceable module that makes switching ports fast and easy.
The RSG2488 supports several 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 or Siemens's FastConnect RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 and FastConnect RJ45 connectors are directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
