    ETHERNET CABLING Shielded Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet patch cables are used to connect the XRB011 to the host computer. There are two ways to connect to the XRB011 board via Ethernet: the first is to directly cable between the host Page 30 of 66 118150-001 REV.

Default username and password for the applet is: Username: admin, Password: SHV_Applet.
  • Page 72 4.3.2.6 Refresh rate for monitored values The refresh rate for the applet display of the XRB011 is dependent upon the rate of placement of status requests in the internal send queue and how fast responses are sent back from the DXM in Page 36 of 66 118150-001 REV.
  • Page 73 Setting this value lower may make the screen refresh quicker. However, setting it too low may cause requests to queue up in the send queue. This may make controlling the XRB011 very slow, as control requests now must wait behind queued status requests. We recommend leaving the delay set at the default value.

When direct connecting the XRB011 to a computer using a crossover cable over Ethernet they are essentially participating in a private network. As such you need to pick two valid IP addresses, one for each device.

    You can use the program “Ping” to test a network connection between the computer and the XRB011. “Ping” is a command line tool so we will need to bring up a command prompt. Under Windows NT, 2000 and XP the name of this command is “CMD”.
