Ethernet Connection
There are two options for controlling your XFR power supply via Ethernet - "Connecting to a Network" or "Connecting Directly to your Computer." The first option is to connect the power supply to a network, and control the unit from your computer which is also connected to the network. The second option is to connect the XFR directly to your computer's network interface card (NIC). This bypasses the need for an existing network.
Connecting to a Network
All that is required to connect your XFR to a network is a straight through CAT 5 network cable and an available network port.
Connecting Directly to your Computer
To connect your XFR directly to your computer you will need a cross- over CAT 5 network cable. You will also need to check your network settings on your computer to ensure that you are using a static IP address. Check with your IT department for assistance.
