LAN Interface

The LAN interface connector is installed on the rear panel. The MAC address of the unit can
be found near the LAN connector. When present, an “L” is appended to the models number,
e.g. 3150AFX-2L.

WARNING

Do NOT connect the RJ45 LAN (Ethernet) connector of the power source to a PoE

(Power over Ethernet) port as the DC voltage will damage the LAN interface.

No special device drivers are required to use the LAN interface as it uses TCP/IP protocol but
the IP address needs to be configured to operate on the user’s local area network or private
network.
