SMP 111 • Remote Communication and Control 69
Ethernet (LAN) Port
The rear panel LAN connector on the device can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or
WAN. Communication between the device and the control system or PC is via Telnet (a TCP
socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if necessary, via SIS or using the
SMP111 user interface. This connection makes SIS control of the device possible using
a control system or PC connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and
behavior of the product are common to the commands and behavior the product exhibits
when communicating by serial port or USB.

Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight‑through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application.
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the SMP.
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the SMP to an Ethernet LAN.

Pair Wires
Pins:
A cable that is wired as TIA/EIA T568A at one
end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable wired the same at both ends is called
a "straight-through" cable because no pin/pair
assignments are swapped.

To establish a network connection to the SMP:
1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the SMP111 IP address.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the
factory‑specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.
2. The SMP responds with a copyright message including the name of the product,
firmware version, part number, and the current date and time.
a. If the SMP is not password‑protected, the device is ready to accept SIS commands
immediately after it sends the copyright message.
b. If the SMP is password‑protected, a Password prompt appears below the
copyright message. Proceed to step 3.
3. If the device is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user
password.
a. If the password is accepted, the device responds with Login User or Login
Administrator.
b. If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.
