Features

The WBK25 is an Ethernet-to-parallel port interface, which provides high-speed Ethernet connectivity for
WaveBook, DaqBook, WBK40, and WBK41 systems. Connection to the Ethernet is made via an Ethernet
patch cable, which links the WBK25's 10/100BaseT Ethernet port to a PC's Ethernet jack or an Ethernet
network hub.
The WBK25 includes three parallel ports, labeled as expansion ports 1 through 3. Each of these parallel
ports can be attached to one of the designated acquisition devices via a parallel cable. The ports cannot be
used for auxiliary devices such as printers and scanners.

The WBK25 Ethernet-to-Parallel Port Interface
•
Provides 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection for up to three WaveBook/512A, /516, /516A,
DaqBook/2000A, DaqBook/2000X, WBK40, or WBK41 devices, in any combination
•
High-speed performance guarantees continuous data transfer to the PC without data loss
WBK25's three parallel ports are labeled as expansion ports 1 through 3. They are
used to connect to WaveBook, DaqBook, WBK40, and WBK41 systems via parallel
cables. The ports cannot be used for other parallel devices, such as printers and
scanners.

  • Page 1: Table Of Contents

    The WBK25 is an Ethernet-to-parallel port interface, which provides high-speed Ethernet connectivity for WaveBook, DaqBook, WBK40, and WBK41 systems. Connection to the Ethernet is made via an Ethernet patch cable, which links the WBK25’s 10/100BaseT Ethernet port to a PC’s Ethernet jack or an Ethernet network hub.

  • Page 2: Description

    Description Front Panel The left side of the WBK25 front panel will include a MAC (Media Access Control) Address Label. The label displays the device serial number in both barcode and base 10 formats. The label also provides the Ethernet address (MAC Address) which is derived from the serial number in hexadecimal.

  • Page 3: Operational Aspects

    Note: It is possible to attach multiple WBK25 units to a single PC that has more than one Ethernet port. It is also possible to attach several WBK25 units to a multi-port Ethernet hub. Performance under these conditions will be dependent on the PC’s ability to handle multiple networks.

  • Page 4: Connecting A Wbk25 To The Ethernet

    Connecting a WBK25 to the Ethernet Introduction The WBK25 connects directly to an Ethernet port on a PC or network hub via the unit’s built-in 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface. An Ethernet patch cable CA-242 (1.5 foot) or CA-242-7 (7 foot) cable is used to make the connection.
  • Page 5 Determine the type of Network Connection To properly connect a WBK25 you must determine the type of network that it will become part of. This is because the type of network used has a direct bearing on the IP address that will be assigned.
  • Page 6 Notes: ➣ Using the WBK25 on a typical LAN may affect the speed of the network and internet data transfer. Because of this we recommend adding a network card to the computer and using one of the two dedicated network configurations.
  • Page 7 Note: Various AC adapter models support power grids of USA, Europe, Japan, and Asia. How to make the connection: 1. Place the WBK25’s power switch in the “OFF” (0) position, if it is not already OFF. 2. Connect the DIN5 end of the adapter’s cable to the power in connector on the WBK25.
