Installation and Configuration

2.6.2. Ethernet Interface

The Ethernet interface is the high-speed communications media to the QLe. Command and configuration
information is sent through this interface.
The Ethernet connection is established through the RJ-45 connector labeled ETHERNET on the QLe (refer
to Figure 2-12). Connection is accomplished by one of these two methods:
Method 1: Directly connect to the PC with an RJ-45 crossover cable.
Method 2: Connect through a network with a standard RJ-45 cable.
Method 1 is the most secure because is guarantees that the only members of the network are the QLe and
the PC. This type of connection is not feasible unless the PC has two Ethernet cards. If the PC cannot be
connected to an external network, Aerotech recommends Method 2.
Method 2 is a more typical configuration. The network can be a local network (the PC and QLe are connected
through a hub or switch) or remote (the devices are connected through a router). When connecting to a
remote network, a crossover cable cannot be used; instead, there must be a hub, switch, or router interface
between the PC and the QLe.
