Accessing the Controller Using a Direct
Ethernet Connection
6.0 Section Overview
The ATC300-1000/2000 and ATC300-1000/2000 controller is equipped with an Ethernet port that can
be accessed directly from a local computer using an Ethernet cable (supplied).
6.1 Using an Ethernet Cable for Establishing a Direct Connection from
a Local Computer to the Controller
1. Connect the controller to the local computer using the crossover Ethernet cable provided and ensure
controller is powered up (Figure 6-1). Power cycle controller if it was previously on a network.
Note: Because the ATC300-1000/2000 controller is auto-sensing, a straight-through Ethernet
cable may be used instead.
