3 CABLING

CAUTION: Power should be turned off when cables are being installed.

3.110BASE2 (COAX) CONNECTION

The 10BASE2 port of the DS73 peripheral module connects to any BNC connector on the network cable. BayTech provides a T-connector for this purpose. The DS73TP has a 10BASE-T connector only. Please see the figure below.

3.210BASE-T (MODULAR) CONNECTION

If your network uses 10BASE-T, RJ-45 connectors, connect an RJ-45 cable between the RJ-45 port and the network hub. The modular port is defined as DTE (i.e., Pin 1 is TD+, Pin 2 is TD-, Pin 3 is RD+, and Pin 6 is RD-). Most RJ-45 network hubs will require a straight cable type. The LINK (link integrity) LED on the back panel and at the connected port on the hub will illuminate if there is a good connection between the DS73/DS73TP and the hub.

4 OPERATION

4.1PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES

4.1.1IP ADDRESS

The IP Address is the network address for the DS73 peripheral module. The IP Address consists of four bytes with each byte ranging from 0 to 255 decimal. This parameter must be programmed before the DS73 can be accessed on the network. The factory default IP Address is 0.0.0.0.

4.1.2DIAL-IN IP ADDRESS

The Dial-up IP Address is the address given to the dial-in user during the establishment of the PPP link. The Dial-in IP Address consists of four bytes with each byte ranging from 0 to 255 decimal. This parameter must be programmed before the DS73 can be accessed on the network. The factory default IP Address is 0.0.0.0.

4.1.3SUBNET MASK

The SUBNET Mask is a bit mask that identifies the network portion of the IP address, allowing the DS73 to determine whether to send a packet directly to the client or to a gateway. The Subnet Mask consists of four bytes with each byte ranging from 0 to 255 decimal. This parameter must be programmed before the DS73 can be accessed on the network. The factory default Subnet Mask is 0.0.0.0.
