General Cabling Instructions
Connecting the Ground Screw
If you are working on high risk tests or in a high risk environment, you should connect a grounding
cable from the OP4200 ground screw to ensure that it terminates securely in a ground. Proper
grounding will help to prevent electric shocks, protect the OP4200 from voltage spikes (from a variety of
causes, including lightning strikes), and provide increased immunity from EMI by lowering noise levels
and emissions.
• Select a flat braided grounding strap of adequate length (as short as possible provides best
protection), with ring terminals on each end.
• Attach one ring terminal to the ground screw on the OP4200 (shown in Figure 4).
• Attach the other ring terminal to the nearest ground source using a nut and lockwasher.

Connecting Network Cable
Before connecting your OP4200 to your network, verify the IP address with your IT
department. You may need to change the simulator IP address to correspond to available
addresses on your network. See
“Changing the IP Address” for instructions.
The OP4200 simulator offers quick, single-ended connections, through RJ45. The network cable must
only be connected to the standard network jack. DO NOT plug the network cable into any jack other
than the jack intended for that purpose.
