ure the PC for IP connectivity to the IpLink, the laptop PC must be conﬁgured for DHCP. The IpLink will

The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use

and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-

age, current, anticipated temperature, ﬂammability, and

mechanical serviceability.
