STEP 3 – Connect the WBK25 to the Ethernet
Reference Note:
For examples of system connections, including cable use, refer to the following documents, as applicable:
For DaqBook/2000 Series systems refer to the section entitled Examples of System Expansion in the
DaqBook/2000 Series Installation Guide (p/n 1103-0940) or the DaqBook/2000 Series User’s
Manual (p/n 1103-0901).
For WaveBook systems refer to the System Enhancement and Expansion section of the WaveBook
User’s Manual (p/n 489-0901).
What you will need to connect a WBK25 to the Ethernet:
• An available connection to the Ethernet. The connection can be either
- an Ethernet jack on a computer or
- an Ethernet jack on a hub that is connected to the Ethernet.
• An Ethernet patch cable, e.g., a CA-242 (1.5 foot cable) or a CA-242-7 (7-foot cable).
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack on the WBK25.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack on the host computer or
network hub.
STEP 4 – Power-up the WBK25
What you will need:
A power supply with a range of +10 VDC to +30 VDC.
The power supply needs to have a male DIN5 connector.
Note: The switching-mode power supply that is commonly used with these systems has an input
range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The power supply’s output [to the
device] is typically 15 VDC @ 2.7 amps via a DIN5 connector.
Note: Various AC adapter models support power grids of USA, Europe, Japan, and Asia.
How to make the connection:
1. Place the WBK25’s power switch in the “OFF” (0) position, if it is not already OFF.
2. Connect the DIN5 end of the adapter’s cable to the power in connector on the WBK25.
3. Connect the adapter’s plug to a standard AC outlet.
4. If your adapter has a power switch, position it to “ON.”
5. T urn ON the WBK25by placing the power switch to the “1” position.
The power led will light up.
