The PXM 2000 Gateway Card uses an auto-detecting circuit that automatically switches the trans-
mit and receive in order to properly align communication. Because of this, when you are communicating directly
to a meter with a PC or a switch, a straight cable can be used.
With the installation of the Power Xpert® Meter 2000 Gateway Card, you gain the capability of communicating over the
Ethernet medium using EATON’s Power Xpert architecture.
Hardware Connection
1. The Gateway Card comes pre-installed in Slot #2 of the PXM Series meter. Refer to instructions at the beginning of
this chapter for card installation.
2. Use a CAT 5 or better cable to connect to the Gateway Card.
The card auto-detects cable type and will work with either straight or crossover cable.
