Ethernet: Control
Overview
The Base Chassis has two Ethernet control ports that support IEEE 802.3 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T protocols. The control ports
are accessible via RJ-45 connectors mounted on the rear panel of the unit.
Ethernet Control Port Numbering
The Ethernet control ports are used to connect the unit to a web browser or the control system (nCompass Control [V6.5 onwards]).
Ethernet Control Port Parameters
NOTE :
Control via the Data input ethernet ports is not supported
A single IP port is defined for all ethernet control of the chassis. The physical ports used for ethernet control are by default the
control ethernet ports. The control ports can raise an alarm during abnormal operational conditions, (see Looking After the Unit >
Troubleshooting > Handling Alarms >
Alarms - Control Port
).
The parameters defining the control ethernet port are as shown in the following table
