equipment having two COM ports; all equipment in the middle of the chain have
both a “MASTER” and “SLAVE” cable end connected.)
With a PPL or PPS cable, you can use the TDAS PLUS Distributor to power the TDAS
WET.
Connect one end to the 12V POWER input on the TDAS WET and connect the
other end to any POWER OUT port on the TDAS PLUS Distributor.
TDAS PLUS Mini Distributor
A CPY cable will provide both power and communications to a TDAS WET from a
TDAS PLUS Mini Distributor.
Using a CPY cable, connect the single-connector end into any one of the four
TDAS SYSTEM ports on TDAS PLUS Mini Distributor. Connect the 19-pin
connector on the other end of the cable to either COM port on the TDAS WET;
connect the 4-pin connector to the 12V POWER input on the TDAS WET.
TDAS PLUS Crashworthy Battery
With a PPL or PPS cable, you can use the TDAS PLUS Crashworthy Battery to power
the TDAS WET.
Connect one end to the 12V POWER input on the TDAS WET and connect the
other end to any available port on the TDAS PLUS Crashworthy Battery.
To enable communications, you will need to connect the TDAS WET to other TDAS
equipment with the appropriate communications support (TDAS PRO rack, TDAS G5
Vehicle Docking Station, etc.).
Wireless Networking Considerations
At its most basic, a wireless system will contain an Ethernet bridge (the TDAS WET)
and a wireless access point (WAP). Both units need to be programmed properly to
communicate with each other and other TDAS equipment. Each wireless networking
device must be assigned a unique IP address and network-compatible subnet mask.
(Your TDAS WET shipped from the factory with the settings as shown in Appendix C.)
Every device in the same wireless network must have the same SSID and use security
settings compatible with the access point or peer computer.
If you plan to integrate your TDAS WET into an existing network, please contact your
network administrator for assistance.
Minimum Requirements
2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter or Ethernet adapter installed in each PC.
