Connecting To The Cbw3; Figure 7 - Connection To The Cbw3; Figure 8 - Connection Warning - GE CSE Uniserve CB Watch 3 Operating Manual

Connecting to the CBW3

Normally the CBW3 is fitted with a Fibre Optic (FO) LAN connection SFP module with LC
connector. To connect directly your laptop to the CBW3 you should either go through a
FO/RJ45 converter, a FO/USB converter or replace the FO SFP module by a suitable RJ45 SFP
module (see picture below).
Warning: Most standard 1Gbs RJ45 SFP modules will not work! Only certain 100Mbs SFP
module actually work. Please contact GE to acquire a correct and tested SFP module.
Figure 7 – Connection to the CBW3
Alternatively connect onto (or VPN into) the same network as the one the CBW3 is on.
Launch any Internet browser, "Google Chrome" in this example, (but preferably not
"Internet Explorer" which is old and has compatibility issues) and enter the CBW3's IP
address in the address line.
192.168.5.22
Because the CBW3 uses "https" secure encrypted communication and your browser will not
recognise the SSL security certificate, it will give you a warning that the communication may
be dangerous and unsecured.
