WARNING
If the system is operated from a remote controlling computer, the
operator must always make sure that no one is present and ex-
posed when the system is started and that no one enters the risk
area around the system while it is operating.
Peer-to-peer computer
connection
An external computer may be connected directly to the built-in computer for simple
peer-to-peer control and communication. The connection is similar to a regular network
connection, using the external ETHERNET IN socket located on the bottom panel of the
cabinet.
The Ethernet cable connecting the external computer and the system computer
must be a crossover cable, specifically configured for peer-to-peer type con-
nections. To make sure that the protection of the cabinet is not compromised,
it is a recommendation that the enclosed encapsulated network cable is used
from the cabinet and extended with a crossover cable, which is connected to
the external computer. An alternative is to use a hub or switch. For this con-
nection straight cables may be used.
