A Video Display Terminal” on page 26 and “Changing The Configuration With A

Web Browser” on page 26). Subsequent changes in the network, such as the addition

of stations or users, would also require that the 9150 configuration be changed.

Important: Once the 9150 is configured and rebooted the first time, the DHCP

or Bootp option should be disabled—unless the 9150 obtains its IP

address from a server, or the system administrator intends to

update the software through bootp. For detailed information, see

“Network Interface Configuration Protocol” on page 52.

2.2.3 LAN Installation: Ethernet

2.2.3.1 9150T W ireless Gateway

The 9150T is a high-performance controller that supports 100Mb/s Fast Ethernet

LANs, as well as 10Mb/s, with both full and half duplex operation.

It comes equipped with:

• 10BaseT/100BaseT card (using a category-5 twisted pair cable, an RJ-45

connector, running at a rate of 10 or 100Mb/s).

Note: The 9150T does not support any connection type other than Ethernet

10BaseT and 100BaseT.

See Figure 2.2 on page 19 for the connector locations. Since these ports are auto-

selecting, jumper or configuration settings are not required. The maximum packet

size supported over the network is 1500 bytes. This parameter is not set at the 9150,

but should be set at the host. For a description of port pinouts, please refer to Appen-

dix B: “Port Pinouts And Cable Diagrams”.

2.2.3.2 9150DC W ireless Gateway

The 9150DC incorporates most of the features of the 9150T. However, while the

9150T is AC-powered, the 9150DC Wireless Gateway is DC-powered, eliminating

the need for AC wiring. The 9150DC is powered through a Category 5 ethernet

cable that carries power and data signals simultaneously.

The 9150DC is connected to the 9100 PowerBaseT, a remote power module that

inserts 48VDC power on the spare conductors of the ethernet cable to the 9150DC

(for detailed information on the 9100, see page 22; for a system diagram, see
