Connecting The Lan Cable; Confirming The Lan Transmission Delay Time - Mitsubishi Electric AE-200A Installation Manual

7-3. Connecting the LAN cable

Connect the LAN cable to the LAN1 port on the AE-200/AE-50. (The LAN2 port is unused.)
● The LAN cable is not supplied. Use a category 5 or above straight LAN cable.
● Use a switching HUB.
● The maximum distance between the switching HUB and AE-200/AE-50 is 100 m (328 ft).
● The recommended number of connected devices such as gateway, router, layer 3 switch, or HUB between the AE-200 and
AE-50 is four or less. (Transmission round-trip delay time must not exceed four seconds. If the transmission delay time is long,
a communication error may be detected.)
If five or more devices are connected, check the transmission delay time, referring to section 7-4.

Note
● LAN must be installed before the unit installation. Route the LAN cable to the AE-200/AE-50 in the same way as the M-NET
transmission cables.
● When connecting the AE-200/AE-50 to an existing LAN, consult the system administrator to decide the IP address. Change
the IP address setting before connecting the LAN cable to the LAN1 port.
● To prevent unauthorized access, always use a security device such as a VPN router when connecting the AE-200/AE-50 to
the Internet.

7-4. Confirming the LAN transmission delay time

Connect a monitoring PC to a device such as HUB that is connected to the AE-200. Send a command from the PC
to the AE-50, and receive the response from the AE-50. Check the time between sending and receiving on the PC
display.
