Setting Up the LAN Port

LAN Port Cabling

•For 10Base-T (10 Mbps) networks, use a Category 3 or better cable.

•For 100Base-T networks, use a Category 5 cable.

•Use a straight-through cable to connect to a switch, hub, or router.

•Use a crossover cable to connect directly to a PC. Wire the connector as shown in the tables below.

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cable that is wired the same at both ends is called a "straight-through" cable, because no pin or pair assignments are swapped.

Configuring the LAN Port

You need to configure the LAN port before using it. You can configure the settings via either SIS commands or the embedded web pages (see “HTML Configuration and Control” or “SIS Programming and Control” for details).

LAN port factory defaults:

Link speed and duplex:	Auto Detect
Unit IP address:	192.168.254.254
Subnet Mask:	255.255.0.0
Gateway IP address:	0.0.0.0
DHCP:	Off

Connecting the Devices

Connect the cables to the rear panel as follows:

1.Plug the Ethernet cable from your network into the LAN port on the rear panel.

2.Plug the IPL T PCS4 power cord into a wall outlet. All front panel LEDs flash on briefly; only the power and Ethernet LEDs remain lit. (No receptacle lights should remain lit.)

NOTE: A label covers the power receptacle on the IPL T PCS4 (US version), reminding you that you must use the supplied 14 AWG power cord for the

PCS4 to function properly. Remove this label before connecting the power cord to the unit.
