TCP/IP (ETHERNET)

Ethernet is the most popular LAN technology in use today. The IEEE standard

802.3 defines the rules for configuring an Ethernet network. It is a 10 Mbps,

CSMA/CD baseband network that runs over thin coax, thick coax, or twisted pair

cable.

The Ethernet option makes your FT5000 ATM LAN (Local Area Network) or WAN

(Wide Area Network) capable. The ATM functions that are normally performed via

the dial-up telephone system, such as customer transactions and remote monitor-

ing, can now be performed using existing in-house communications network. ATM

transaction processing and hardware monitoring functions are performed across a

shared network medium. Ethernet is popular because it strikes a good balance

between speed, cost and ease of installation. These benefits, combined with wide

acceptance in the computer marketplace and the ability to support virtually all popu-

lar network protocols, make the Ethernet option an ideal networking solution for

your FT5000 ATM.

TCP/IP CABLE INSTALLATION

1. If the unit is ON, enter

Management Function>System

Parameters>Shut Down the

Terminal. When prompted on the

screen, open the sleeve cabinet

and turn the power switch on the

power supply to the OFF (0)

position..

2. Refer to the section on “Power and

Communication”. Route the

10Base-T (CAT-5) cable through

the cabinet cable access hole.

Secure cable inside vault area and

continue up to the cabinet sleeve

control area.

TCP/IP (ETHERNET) CABLE INSTALLATION

3. Connect the RJ-45 end of the CAT-5 cable to the TCP/IP connector located on

the docking board assembly as shown in Figure 1.

4. Secure cable into existing cable harness runs. Refer to the 5000- series

Configuration manual for programming Ethernet options.
