CommLink with IP Module
Hardware Connection
You have two options for connecting the CommLink to your PC
via Ethernet:
1.) You can connect the CommLink directly to your PC
by using a crossover CAT 5 Ethernet cable (provided) as
shown. See Figure 8 for details.
2.) You can connect both your PC and the CommLink to
an Ethernet Hub with standard CAT5 cables (by others).
See Figure 9 for details.
If using a hub or switch, connect a standard CAT 5 cable from the
CommLink to the hub or switch. You will also need to connect
your computer to the LAN via standard CAT 5 (by others).
If connecting directly to the CommLink without a hub or switch,
use a crossover CAT 5 Ethernet cable. The LNK-LAN LED will
light up once power is applied, indicating connection to the LAN.
Power up the CommLink by plugging in the power cable. The
CommLink may take up to three minutes to power up completely.
Once the CommLink is powered up, you should notice that the red
“LOOP” LED light on the CommLink remains lit continuously
and fl ickers during communication. See Figures 18 & 19, pages
17 & 18 for the LED location.
