- Page 5 A C13 power cord with your desired plug type (e.g. a G type plug for the UK). A standard RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable. EtherSync Connector Software downloadable from: https://hub.cambrionix.com/pages/ethersync 1) Push the 4 pin Mini-DIN from the power supply into the EtherSync’s power input.
- Page 6 EtherSync comes with two RJ45 Ethernet ports. One is used to connect the EtherSync to the network; the other can be used to ‘daisy-chain’ several EtherSync units (described on page 13, section 5.3) or used as an Ethernet port to connect another device to the network e.g. a computer.
- Page 7 ‘Connection Manager’. 6) From here you can set up the address/ DHCP for network interfaces or select the Ethernet Port by selecting ‘Network Interface’ and give the EtherSync a host name by selecting ‘Hostname and DNS Client’. Note To select a Static IP change from DHCP to Static and enter the appropriate IPv4/ netmask/ gateway fields.
- Page 8 Shutdown section. Note To reset EtherSync back to the factory settings, switch on the power and insert a pin into the pin hole circled below. Hold the pin in the hole until the two red lights flash simultaneously, this could take up to ten seconds. After this turn the power off and on again, the settings should now be reset to factory settings.
- Page 9 4) Click on the ‘+’ symbol to expand the ‘USB Hub’ list displaying all EtherSyncs connected to the network. 5) Click the ‘+’ sign next to the EtherSync called ‘EtherSyncXXYYZZ’ (where XXYYZZ are the last 6 digits of the Mac address) to display the devices connected to that EtherSync.
- Page 10 ‘Use’. 8) The devices connected to the EtherSync will now appear on the client computer as if they are connected directly. 1) Ensure EtherSyncs are connected to the same subnet as the client computer and open the EtherSync Connector application.
- Page 11 By default EtherSyncs will appear on the Connector Software as EtherSyncXXYYZZ, where XXYYZZ are the last 6 digits of the Mac Address which can be found on the bottom of the EtherSync. The ‘Custom Event Handler…’ option in the context menu of a device should only be used with the explicit direction of Cambrionix Technical Support.
- Page 12 LED select ‘Locator On’ or ‘Locator Blink’. To turn off the Locator LED select ‘Locator Off’. Cambrionix periodically releases updates to the firmware which is used on all current Cambrionix products. To update EtherSync: 1) Open the Webmin interface and logon using the details listed in section 4.1.
- Page 13 EtherSyncs or computers. This is especially useful in situations where EtherSync is to be inserted into an existing networked location or if more than one EtherSync is being used in close proximity. EtherSync can also be connected to other Cambrionix products. [Please note the daisy chaining of hubs requires additional power supplies].
- Page 14 EtherSyncbb0d6 1) With all the boards powered on and EtherSyncbaf15 EtherSyncfdb910 connected to EtherSync, click ‘Use’ for EtherSyncfda01 the desired connected USB hubs. 2) If needed, wait for the drivers to install. This needs to be done for all connected hubs.
- Page 15 Gigabit Ethernet port green LEDs should be flashing on the rear of the EtherSync. • If the Power LED is not on but there is evidence that EtherSync is powered up, there may be an issue with the Linux Operating System which EtherSync runs.
- Page 16 Use this and connect to the desired EtherSync using the password on the bottom of your unit regardless of whether the password has been changed on the Webmin interface, to see if your device is registering as connected and is charging at the correct current.
- Page 17 The plug on the power cord is considered the ‘disconnect device’ and as such the mains outlet • should be located near the EtherSync and should be easily accessible in case the power supply needs to be isolated from the mains power for whatever reason.
