System Setup & Power Options Connecting to the Ethernet
STEP 3 –
Connect the System Components
Reference Note:
For examples of WaveBook system connections, including cable use, refer to the System Enhancement
and Expansion section of this chapter. The section begins on page 2-21.
What you will need to connect a DaqBook/2000E or a WaveBook/516E 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 DaqBook/2000E or WaveBook/516E.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack on the host computer or
network hub.

Power-up the System Components
When powering up a WaveBook system it is important that the WaveBook/516E (or WBK25) is
powered last, and that the most remote system components are powered first. Other power-up
sequences will result in software’s failure to recognize all components.
*
First, power-on the WBK expansion modules.
Second, power-on WaveBooks or WBK modules that are connected to the expansion
ports of the WaveBook/516E or WBK25.
Finally, power-on the WaveBook/516E and/or WBK25 devices.
*
An exception to this power-up scheme is to power-on the entire system at once.
Reference Notes:
The section System Enhancement and Expansion (which begins on page 2-21) contains
several examples, which include power connections.
The section entitled, Connecting the System to Power (page 2-28) should be reviewed prior to
powering up a system.
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.
It is possible to use a VDC power source other than the commonly used switching-mode
power supply, often referred to as an adapter. However, be sure to consult the power-
related sections of this chapter, which begin on page 2-28 before doing so.
