12 TP-410 - Connecting the TP-410

If required, connect the GND pin on the RS-485 port of the PC to the G
(ground) pin on the rear panel of the TP-410
For RS-485 communication, the ground is usually not connected between the
devices. When using a shielded cable, the shield may be grounded on one side
2. If this is the only TP-410 on the RS-485 bus, set the RS-485 termination
DIP-switch (see Section 7.3
If several units are connected via the RS-485 bus, set the termination switches on both
physical ends of the bus
) to ON (for RS-485 line termination with 120
Ω).
5.4 Connecting to the TP-410 via the ETHERNET
You can connect the TP-410 via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable
(see Section 5.4.1 ) for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable (see
5.4.2 Section
5.4.1 Connecting the ETHERNET Port directly to a PC (Crossover Cable)
) for connection via a network hub or network router.
You can connect the Ethernet port of the TP-410 to the Ethernet port on your PC,
via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
This type of connection is recommended for identification of the
factory default IP Address of the TP-410 during the initial
configuration.
After connecting the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:
1. Right-click the My Network Places icon on your desktop.
2. Select Properties.
3. Right-click Local Area Connection Properties.
4. Select Properties.
The Local Area Connection Properties window appears.
5. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties Button (see
Figure 5 ).
