The Net2 TCP/IP Ethernet Interface allows a Net2 data line to be controlled from a PC running the Net2 Server

across a TCP/IP Ethernet network.

There is a 1 km maximum length for a data line. This can be increased by using Net2 RS485 high speed repeaters

(477-836) or by creating multiple data lines using several Ethernet connections controlled from the one PC.

TCP/IP connections

If you need to connect your PC directly to the TCP/IP Ethernet Interface, you MUST use a crossover cable instead

of the RJ45 patch lead.

On sites with high levels of broadcast traffic (CCTV, etc) this option is highly recommended and should be

implemented wherever possible. VLANs allow administrators to set up their networks by logically grouping devices.

IP addresses, subnet masks and local network protocols require fewer local server resources in this environment.

Services can be more effectively deployed when they span buildings within a single VLAN.
