Wiring Diagrams 5.1 Section 5 Mounting T-Link Using HMB-1 Bracket Common Terms Section 1 Ethernet A local-area network (LAN) protocol developed by Xerox Corporation in cooperation with DEC and Intel in 1976. Ethernet uses a bus or star topology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. A newer version of Ethernet, called 100BaseT (or Fast Ethernet), supports data transfer rates of 100 Mbps. The newest version, Gigabit Ethernet, supports data rates of 1 Gigabit (1,000 Megabits) per second.
MAC Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each device of a network. The address is not programmable by the user and the manufacturer of the device must register with IEEE before receiving an assigned group of addresses. Network Two or more computer systems connected together. Packet A piece of a message transmitted over a packet-switching network. One of the key features of a packet is that it contains the destination address in addition to the data.
4.3 T-Link Programming Section [001] Module IP (Static IP address for the T-Link module) Unique IP address for the module. The network administrator will provide this information. Default: 000 000 000 000 Unit Functionality 2.1 Must equal the subnet mask for the local subnet. For any single subnet, there is only one valid subnet mask; all nodes on the same subnet will use the same subnet mask. The network administrator will provide this information.
2.5 Mounting the Module For installation with the PC4020 control panel, refer to the PC4020 Installation Manual and the diagrams on Pages 12,13,14. For installation with the PC5020 control panel, refer to the bracket (optional - sold separately) instructions for mounting the unit and the diagrams on Pages 12,13,14. 2.6 Hardware Features of Transmitter 2.6.1 LED There are three LEDs on the board to indicate connection and traffic.
Programming Worksheets Section 4 Before programming the T-Link module, obtain the following items from the Network Administrator: 1. The static IP address for the T-Link module. (Section [001]) 2. The subnet mask for the T-Link module. (Section [002]) 3. The static IP address of the receiver. (Section [003]) 4. The static IP address of the static gateway for the LAN the T-Link is connected to in a WAN configuration.
3.2 Making an Ethernet Crossover Cable An Ethernet crossover cable can be made by taking a standard Ethernet cable (which will have wires attached to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 only on the 8 pin RJ-45 connector) and swapping pin 1 with pin 3, and also swapping pin 2 with pin 6, on one end of the cable only. This effectively reverses the transmit and receive pairs, and allows two hosts to communicate without the use of a network hub. 3.
