3.2.6. COMMUNICATION CONNECTIONS

The T-Series instruments are equipped with connectors for remote communications
interfaces. This section describes those features.

3.2.6.1. Ethernet Connection

For network or Internet communication with the instrument, connect an Ethernet cable
from the instrument’s rear panel Ethernet interface connector to an Ethernet port.
The T703 firmware supports dynamic IP addressing or DHCP (default setup) for remote
operation via an Ethernet connection. If your network also supports DHCP, the
calibrator will automatically configure its LAN connection appropriately (see Section
5.6.1). If your network does not support DHCP, see Section 5.6.1.1 for instructions on
manually configuring the LAN connection.

3.2.6.2. USB Option Connection

For direct communication between the instrument and a personal computer (PC),
connect a USB cable between the instrument and desktop or laptop USB ports. (If this
option is installed, the COM2 port can only be used for RS232 multidrop
communication). The Teledyne T-Series USB driver must be installed. See Section 5.5.

3.2.6.3. RS-232 and RS485 Connection

For RS-232 communications through the serial interface COMM ports, refer to Section
5.1.1 of this manual for instructions on configuration and usage. For RS-485
communication, contact the factory.

3.2.6.4. Multidrop Network Connection

If your unit has a Teledyne API RS-232 multidrop card (Option 62), see Section 5.3 for
instructions on setting it up.
