Ethernet (ENET)

Advanced Section

The advanced section describes the setup and connection for various network topologies involving multiple power supplies.

Network Topology 1: Simple LAN

The simple LAN topology is the most common configuration for setting up the ENET option on the XG. The topology follows the typical star topology provided by a HUB and multiple XGs with the ENET option and one or more computers. Figure 2-30shows this configuration.

All devices connects via the HUB. Every device must have a unique IP address, for example:

•Computer #1: 169.254.117.231

•Computer #2: 169.254.117.232

•Power supply #1: 169.254.117.220

•Power supply #2: 169.254.117.221

•Power supply #3: 169.254.117.222

•Power supply #30: 169.254.117.230. You must set up every device manually.
