Control
The control data connection to the Core varies depending on whether the surface is fitted with a central
Bayserver or Gateserver.

4.12.1
Wiring for Bayserver Consoles
The
ROUTER 1
and
ROUTER 2
ports must connect directly to the ETHERNET A ports on the Nova73 Router
Modules. Only one connection is essential for operation. If a second Router Module is fitted, then a second
connection should be made to support redundancy.
Connections are made via TCP/IP Ethernet.
The connection(s) must be directly wired without any other network equipment between the ports.
Cable Specification
·
Cable
: CAT 5e; straight (1:1) Ethernet cable.
·
Connector
: RJ45.
·
Length
: up to 80m.
4.12.2
Wiring for Gateserver Consoles
The
MGMT A
&
MGMT B
ports must connect to the same Management Network as the Core's control ports
(e.g. ETHERNET B if the Core is a Nova73). Only one connection is essential for operation. A second
connection can be installed to support redundancy.
Connections are made via TCP/IP Ethernet.
Lawo may deliver a suitable network switch with the system. This could be replaced by any other suitable switch
fabric that provides comparable performance.
You must use a network switch and
NOT
a hub, and keep the Management Network separate from other
traffic within the installation. The switch should support 1GB for best performance.
