Cabling & Applying Power
After installing the APWeb board, connect it to a LAN or a Network Interface Card (NIC) in a PC.
During the initial setup (see below), the APWeb board discovers the system. After the initial setup, it
does not need to rediscover the system (even if power is cycled). If connecting to a PC, the PC’s settings
may need to be changed (contact your Network Administrator).
Cable Requirements
LAN Connection – Use an RJ-45 straight-through patch cable.
PC Connection (NIC Card) – Use an RJ-45 crossover cable.
Connecting to a LAN or a PC
