Connecting the transceiver

This chapter explains how to connect the ES70 computer to the transceiver, and how to
set up the frequency channels.
Each transceiver contains one or more frequency channels. The phrase is used to
identify the combination of a transceiver, transducers and the frequencies offered. Split
beam transceivers contain only one channel each. The upper part of the
dialog displays a list of frequency channels which either are, or have been,

installed on the ES70. For each channel, a status label is provided.

General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) interface

The ES70 computer communicates with the General Purpose Transceiver using one or
more Ethernet cables. The number and type of cables required depends on the system
configuration. The following basic configurations exist:
• One transceiver: Use a "crossover" cable between the computer and the transceiver
• Two or more transceivers: Use "straight" cables between the computer and the
Ethernet switch, and between the switch and the transceivers.

Wiring procedure, one transceiver

1 Locate the Ethernet port you wish to use on the computer.
2 Connect a "crossover" cable from the computer's Ethernet socket to the socket on
the General Purpose Transceiver.
→ RJ45 Ethernet, crossover on page 50

Wiring procedure, two or more transceivers

1 Locate the Ethernet port you wish to use on the computer.
Install an Ethernet switch.
