4.1 LAN Cable

The LAN cable must be supplied by the customer. It may be a standard straight "patch" CAT-5 (or
better) network cable or it may be a "crossover" cable where the pins are reversed on one end.
The cable type is auto-detected by the power supply.
The serial link cable (0.5 m long) provided with the Z
connection.

4.2 Types of Networks

There are basically two types of networks that are discussed here:
1. NETWORK WITH A SERVER
This is the typical local area network with a server computer and network administrator to
keep it operating. The server will download the IP address and other settings to the power
supply.
2. PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK
This is typically the configuration when you connect the Z
that is not a network server. The power supply will configure its own IP address and other
settings.
