Hardware Overview
The IC-3120 front panel consists of a VGA port, RJ50 serial port, two USB 2.0 ports, a
10/100/1000 Ethernet port, and two Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports.
The IC-3120 front panel also includes LEDs for communicating system status and a 44-pin
Digital I/O port. The Digital I/O port offers 8 isolated inputs, 8 isolated outputs, 2 bidirectional
differential I/O (RS-422) or single-ended input lines that can be used with a quadrature
encoder, and 8 bidirectional TTL lines.

Power Input Connectors
The IC-3120 requires a power supply to power the system. If needed for your application,
additional power sources are required to enable Power over Ethernet and to power the isolated
outputs.
The same power supply may be used for both the system power and isolated outputs power if
isolation is not required and the power supply meets the voltage and power requirements for
both inputs. Refer to the IC-3120 Specifications for power requirements.
NI recommends the following power supplies for the IC-3120.

Ethernet Ports
The IC-3120 provides 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports. PoE PORT 0 and PoE PORT 1 are capable of
providing Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Ethernet ports provides a connection between the
IC-3120, a network, and other Ethernet devices. The IC-3120 automatically detects the speed
of the connection and configures itself accordingly.
The IC-3120 can power PoE-capable devices when a PoE power supply is connected. When
the IC-3120 supplies PoE, the LED that corresponds to the port illuminates. You can use non-
PoE Ethernet devices with the PoE-enabled Ethernet ports.

A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit)
Ethernet performance. CAT 5 Ethernet cables are not guaranteed to meet the necessary
requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work at 1,000 Mbps, CAT 5 cables can cause
bit errors, resulting in degraded or unreliable network performance.
(Windows only) The primary Gigabit Ethernet port provides Wake-on-LAN functionality from
the power off state when associated with the Intel® driver. Wake-on-LAN must be enabled in
the Power Management tab of the Intel I210 Gigabit Network Connection Properties dialog for
the primary Ethernet port in Device Manager. The NI GigE Vision driver (NI-GEV) does not
support Wake-on-LAN. The PoE Ethernet ports do not support Wake-on-LAN.

USB 2.0 Ports
The USB ports support common USB peripheral devices such as USB flash drives, USB hard
drives, USB-to-IDE adapters, keyboards, mice, and USB cameras.
(RT only) LabVIEW usually maps USB mass-storage devices to the /U, /V, /W, or /X drive,
starting with the /U drive if it is available. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information.

RS-485/422/232 Serial Port
The IC-3120 has a single serial port that can operate in either RS-485/422 mode or RS-232
mode. Set the serial port mode in the BIOS setup utility.
The serial port is a 10-position RJ50 modular jack, which can connect to serial devices, such
as PLCs, scanners, and lighting devices.
NI recommends the following serial cables for the IC-3120.
