Network Connections
The node controllers use communication over an Ethernet network with a host controller for
transport system control and for communication between node controllers. The following pro-
cedure provides the information that is required to make all network communications and
Power over Ethernet connections to the node controllers as shown in Figure 5-9.
NOTE: The network for the transport system must be a dedicated, separate subnet to mini-
mize any unrelated network traffic.

1. Connect a Cat 5 network cable for transport system network communications from the
host controller to the Uplink connector on the network switch.
NOTICE
The Ethernet cable that connects a Power over Ethernet switch to the
host controller or other network switches must connect to the Uplink
port. Connecting to other ports can damage the switch or other
devices that are connected to the switch.
