CHAPTER 4: CONNECT TO NETWORK
4.1 Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet cable must be supplied by the customer. It may be a standard straight “patch” CAT-5 (or better)
network cable or a “crossover” cable. Cable type is auto-detected by the power supply.
NOTE
The serial link (RS-485) cable (0.5 meters long) provided with the power supply cannot be used
for MODBUS TCP connection.
4.2 Types of Networks
There are two types of networks discussed in this document:
4.2.1 NETWORK WITH A DHCP SERVER
A typical local area network with a server computer and network administrator to keep it operating. The server
downloads the IP address and other settings to the power supply.
Figure 4–1: Network with a DHCP Server
4.2.2 PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK
In this type of configuration, the power supply is connected directly to a computer that is not a network server.
The power supply configures its own IP address and other settings.
