4.1 Ethernet Ports

Any of the Ethernet ports can be used to connect to Ethernet devices. Four of the ports provide

Power over Ethernet, intended to provide the power needed for a GigE camera, though they

can also be used as general-purpose Ethernet ports.

To attach the industrial PC to a network or broadband device, connect an Ethernet cable

between the device and one of the Ethernet ports on the industrial PC.

We recommend that you use Category 5 or better wiring and connectors for your network.

NOTE: If you are using a camera with a USB 2.0 connector or with an Ethernet

connector that is not designed for PoE, you will need to provide DC power to the

camera through a separate cable.

For a USB 3.0 camera, use one of the USB 3.0 ports.

To attach a USB peripheral, plug the peripheral cable into any one of the USB ports on the

SmartVision MX industrial PC.

NOTE: The bottom-right USB 2.0 port is used for the license dongle, which is

needed for the industrial PC to function. Do not remove the dongle.

To connect a monitor with a DVI connector:

Connect the monitor to the DVI-I port on the SmartVision MX

Connect the monitor to the DVI-D port on the SmartVision MX.

Connecting a VGA monitor requires using the DVI-I port with a user-supplied VGA adapter.

The Audio In, Audio Out, and the two RS232(/485) ports are fully functional, but are not used

for vision processing.

CAUTION: It is not recommended that you connect the SmartVision MX dir-

ectly to the internet for security reasons. If the industrial PC is directly exposed

to the network, it could become vulnerable if not managed properly. If the

SmartVision MX is on a LAN that has Internet access, make sure there is a fire-

wall between the LAN and the Internet in order to prevent unwanted and unau-

thorized network traffic from reaching the SmartVision MX.
