3.1 Connecting the IPCMPR Card to the LAN

3.1 Connecting the IPCMPR Card to the LAN
Refer to the following example to connect the IPCMPR card to the LAN.
When the IPCMPR card is connected to the LAN for the first time, you must assign IP addressing information
to the card. Refer to "4.3 Programming the IPCMPR Card" for instructions.
Note
•
Use an Ethernet straight cable with an RJ45 connector to connect the IPCMPR card to a switching
hub. The cable should be a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX CAT 5 (Category 5) or higher cable.
•
Before connecting the IPCMPR card, attach the included ferrite core to the cable.
•
Make sure to set the port of the switching hub that connects to the IPCMPR card to operate
under "Auto Negotiation" mode.
•
When using the VLAN feature on the network, make sure that the IPCMPR card is connected to a layer
2 switch that is IEEE 802.1Q compliant, and that is configured for VLANs. In addition, the port of the
switching hub to which the IPCMPR card is connected must be set to "Untagged". Consult your network
administrator for details.
Attaching a ferrite core to the cable
1.
Wrap the cable once around the ferrite core, leaving 3 cm (1-3/16 in) between the ferrite core and the
connector.
2.
Close the case of the ferrite core.
Note
If you need to open the ferrite core, use a flathead screwdriver to unlatch the case.
