Ethernet Connections
For DakTickers using an Ethernet system for communication, a network connection will be
made from the network hub or switch to the master section. The Cat-5/Cat-5E cable has a
typical maximum length of 100 meters (approximately 300 feet). The controller has an
onboard Ethernet port with a default address that will need to be reconfigured to an address
on the local network. Refer to Appendix C. The default address is 172.16.192.27.

3. Plug the other end of the RJ45 network cable into the jack labeled “Ethernet IN” on
the controller in the master section.
4. Plug the ticker’s power cord into a 100-240 VAC grounded outlet.
