Note. Ensure that permission has been granted for
installation of new devices on the network. If in doubt,
consult the System Administrator before connecting the
instrument.
To connect the instrument into an Ethernet network, use a single
network cable to link it to the network hub. The connection is
made using a standard RJ45 connector at the rear of the unit on
module C – see Fig. 2.1.

Note. To prevent signal degradation, the maximum cable
length between 10BaseT network devices is limited to
100m. If longer cable runs are required between devices,
repeaters or gateways must be used to boost signal
strengths.
