4. Cabling GE 800
18 1.1/1209
Limitations in Mixed Systems
Limitations at GE 800
Must be inserted in the top-most GEV-ring
Can only be connected to Ring 1 of a GE700, no connection to Ring 2!
If the GE 800 is switched off the GEV-ring does not work -> no relay on G8-NET
Only one GEV connection of a GE 800 system to a GE 700!
Limitations at GE 700
GE 700 network cards must be upgraded to software version min. 5.2
Limitations with synchronous connections
Works like “Ring 2”: GE 800 always is “Clock Master”
If CNET-W or CNET-E1 networking is used in the GE 700 system, the Servers GE 800 may only be
connected on one side of the network!
Otherwise non-synchronous connections must be used (LAN, WAN, S0).
When G8-CNET-W or G8-CNET-E1 are connected to the GEV ring a connection to a GE 700 is not pos-
sible
