13. 100 Mbps Connection

For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the IP Link supports Category 5 UTP cabling. To establish a 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub.

1.Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX adapter.

2.Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter's connector.

Note! The UTP/FTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX cable are identical to those for 10BASE-T cable when used with Category 5 UTP/FTP cable.

14. Switching on

After connecting IP Link to the computer, switch on IP Link first and then the computer.

15. Configuring the system

The IP Link's communication interfaces are based on TCP/IP protocol, and it comes configured with the values listed below.

DHCP - active

IP address - 192.168.0.220

Net mask - 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway - None

If the above values are unsuitable, change the IP configuration. This can be done in a number of ways:

16. Configuring system via DHCP server

By default, IP Link will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask. Before connecting the IP Link to your local subnet complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server.

We recommended configuring a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of IP Link. You can find the MAC address on the IP Link's underside. If the DHCP connection fails on boot up, IP Link will boot with the last known IP configuration. So for the initial use this would be the preconfigured IP address as set out above.
