Internet Connection
Optional Wired Internet Connection
Plug an Ethernet cable from the plant network into the WAN port #4. This port is in the lower left corner and is
the only one marked with a red LED when the switch is powered up.
The cable can be a patch cable or a crossover cable.
When the unit is powered up, the Switch will automatically obtain an IP address (DHCP) and will begin to work
within a few minutes.
Optional Wireless (WIFI) Internet Connection
Potential wireless sources include:
•
Plant WIFI
•
Wireless hotspots
•
Cell phones that have wireless hotspot capability
•
Dongles that have wireless hotspot capability
For use on WIFI, it is easiest if the switch is pre-configured at Elkhart Brass before it ships to the customer. In
order to complete this, the customer must provide the following wireless network information:
•
SSID
•
Password (a.k.a. passphrase)
•
Security Information (WEP, WPA, or none)
SSID and Password must not contain any special characters. SSID and Passwords are case sensitive, be sure to
note them exactly.
After the SSID and password are configured at Elkhart Brass, the unit will be shipped to the customer. The unit
will then auto connect to their WIFI network automatically on power up.
Elkhart Brass Network Connection
Plug another Ethernet cable into any of the eWON’s LAN Ports; #1, or #2, or #3 (marked with a green LED).
Plug the other end of that cable into any port, on any N-Tron switch, in the Elkhart Brass Monitor network.
This cable can be a patch cable or a crossover cable.
