Fiber-Optic Cable and Connector Description

Using the Ethernet Port (LAN)

The Ethernet port can be used to monitor and control the VMIACC-5595 using  either 
a WAN or LAN and your standard Web Browser. This method allows for a greater 
distances then that of the conventional serial port. See Figure 1-11 below for an 
example of the VMIACC-5595 Ethernet port setup for monitoring and control. See 

Ethernet Port Graphical User Interface (GUI)

 on page 36.

Figure 1-11  

VMIACC-5595 Typical Ethernet Setup

NOTE:

 When using the VMIACC-5595’s Ethernet Port, GE recommends using the 

Category 5 Twisted-Pair Cross-Over cable also, referred to as a Null Cable. This will 
eliminate the need for an Ethernet Hub, and allow for a direct connection between the 
VMIACC-5595 Hub Assemble and the PC.
