Connecting the data networking hardware

This section describes how to connect network cards to the BCM1000.

Connecting the cards

The data networking hardware is installed in the BCM1000 at the factory. All systems that use
remote data management have one LAN card. Some systems have a LAN and a WAN card. Some
systems can have two LAN cards. Some systems also have a modem card.

Figure 58

shows one of

four profiles available.

Locating the data cards on the BCM1000

Warning:

Check with your network administrator before you connect the BCM1000 base

unit to the network to ensure there are no IP address conflicts.
The default address for the BCM1000 system:

IP:

10.10.10.1

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Warning:

If the default IP address would create a network conflict, you must change the

IP address of the BCM1000 before you connect any network connections.
To change the IP address outside of a network, you can use one of the following:

a terminal and a null modem cable

a computer and an ethernet crossover cable

Refer to

“Using a null modem serial cable” on page 169

or

“Using an Ethernet crossover

cable” on page 172

for detailed instructions about connecting to the base unit.
