crossover cable is not required when connecting the camera to
other devices.
A standard CAT5 (or better) Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors
can be used to interface to the camera in indoor conditions or for
temporary connection outdoors when conditions permit. When an
Ethernet connection is required for permanent outdoor
installations or when a connection to the camera is required in
wet or harsh conditions, the Environmental Ethernet Cable
(CCFCCBL2-L) assembly needs to be used. Campbell Scientific
Canada recommends the use of the environmentally sealed cable
at all times when outdoors.
The Environmental Ethernet Cable assembly provides one end
with an environmental connector that provides a weather proof
connection when properly mated to the camera. The other end of
the cable consists of a standard RJ45 connector. The
Environmental Ethernet Cable is meant to provide an Ethernet
connection between the CCFC and a local network, router,
cellular modem, or laptop.
Details of the Environmental Ethernet Cable are:

CAT5E Shielded cable with polyurethane jacket.

IP68 environmentally rated RJ45 connector on one end
and a rugged metal RJ45 connector on the other end.

Maximum recommended cable length 70 m (230 feet).
Ensure the protective dust cap is reengaged when the
Ethernet cable is not in use to ensure the camera
remains protected from the elements.
9. Using Device Configuration Utility
Configuration settings that can be done through the web interface,
can be done using the
Device Configuration Utility . Campbell
Scientific provides a free software program called Device
Configuration Utility that supports the configuration of a variety
of equipment including the CCFC . Please visit the Campbell
Scientific website http://www.campbellsci.ca/downloads for the
most recent version of this utility.
When shipped, the CCFC factory default setting is with the
communication lines configured for the RS-232 or RS-485
depending on the model specified at time or order. See Table 8-1
Power & I/O Cable Connections for wiring details.
