ETHERNET CONFIGURATIONS
Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 illustrate some basic Ether-
net configurations.
NOTE: The maximum length for Ethernet
cables is 328 ft (100 m). Do not exceed this
length when connecting RMServer s to your com-
puter, as well as to Ethernet switches and hubs.
NOTE: Ethernet-based RMS systems must
conform to Ethernet network design specifica-
tions, which are beyond the scope of this manual. A
general knowledge of Ethernet networks is very help-
ful in planning Compass RMS systems.
NOTE: A closed, separate Ethernet network is
recommended for Compass RMS systems to
reduce congestion from outside network traffic. All
Galileo units in the system should be on this network.
