9.3.4 Connection Setup for a Multiple Number of Sensor Units
When the control PC is to be connected to a multiple number (2 or more) of sensor units, it is
recommended that the equipment be connected via a hub using straight cables (supporting
category 5 or higher). You can use both straight and crossover cables when using a hub that
provides Auto MDI/Auto MDI-X function.
Use of units other than a hub, such as a dual-port LAN card or multiple number of LAN cards,
is not recommended (since no guarantees are made for operation).
When the control PC is to be connected to a single sensor unit, connect the equipment using a
crossover cable as in the past.
* Note: Bear in mind that when connecting the equipment to a hospital LAN, for instance, if the
environment is not a favorable one for Ethernet (there is too much traffic or high noise levels),
the equipment may not be able to demonstrate its performance to the full. Therefore, the
construction of a network consisting solely of the CXDI system is strongly recommended.
*Up to three identical sensors can be connected. Each sensor must be paired with a power box.
*The LAN cables and hub are procured from the sales companies (or distributor).
Connect as shown below if a multiple number of sensor units are to be connected. Example:
