Ethernet Connection


The i-STAT System connects terminal servers to Ethernet ports to
allow a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) to
transport data from a Downloader, Downloader/Recharger, or IR Link
to the Data Manager using the TCP/IP protocol. Often, no additional
wiring needs to be installed, but network ports or 'drops' may need
to be installed in walls at appropriate locations. Also, power outlets
will need to be available at each location in order to provide power
to the Downloaders, Downloader/Rechargers or terminal servers.
Using this method allows an unlimited number of Downloaders,
Downloader/Rechargers, and IR Links to be connected to the Data
Manager.
