5 - Ethernet Control

This unit is Ethernet controlled via a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the rear of the unit.
Before the Ethernet can be used, it must be configured via the “Ethernet Configuration Port” on the
back panel of the unit. To configure the Ethernet, connect the provided “Null Modem” cable from
the “Ethernet Configuration Port” on the 50MS-192 to a COM port on an available PC. See section
7 of this manual for specific instructions on Ethernet configuration. The easiest method of verifying
the unit is working correctly after your changes is to use the JFW provided test program. See
section 11 of this manual for more information on this test software.

6 - Ethernet Configuration Cable

Included with the system should be one “Null Modem” cable (JFW part #012-174). This cable is
used to interface with the Ethernet Configuration Port and for the RS-232 connection. This cable is
DE-9P to DE-9S and is the “Null Modem” type. The female connector will plug into the serial port
on most PC’s, and the male connector will connect to 50MS-192. This cable can also be bought
from L-Com (L-Com #CSNULL9MF-10)
