Increasing the Number of End-User Systems
A single end-user system is attached to the Hotwire 5446 RTU by using an Ethernet crossover cable. To increase the number of end-user systems, connect all end-user systems to an Ethernet hub using straight-through Ethernet cable. Refer to Installing the Hotwire 5446 RTU, page 8.
The initial IP address for the first end-user system remains in effect when the end-user system is reconnected. All new end-user systems must be configured by the NSP. Coordinate additional IP addresses and subnet masks with the NSP.
The 5446 RTU can support up to 32 end-user systems using static or dynamic IP addressing. The number of end-user systems can be increased on the network with the use of subnets utilizing static addresses or connecting to a default gateway. Verify any planned changes with the NSP.
