1. Connecting the OnSite to your PC
First the OnSite must be connected to the mains power supply with the power cable. Wait until the Power
LED stops blinking and stays lit constantly. Now the OnSite is ready.
Connecting and logging in via the Ethernet port
The OnSite 2884 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through cables
for host or hub/switch connections (see
).
Figure 10. Connecting the OnSite to your laptop PC via the Ethernet port
The OnSite comes with a built-in DHCP server to simplify configuration. Therefore, to automatically config-
ure the PC for IP connectivity to the OnSite, the laptop PC must be configured for DHCP. The OnSite will
provide the PC with an IP address. You can check the connection to the OnSite by executing the ping com-
mand from the PC command window as follows:
ping 192.168.200.10
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use
and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-
age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.
