The primary advantage of using the REMOTE-4PN on an Ethernet
network is that a separate network does not have to be installed just for
the instruments. Using the REMOTE-4PN Data Port allows the
instruments to co-exist with computers, printers and servers on a LAN
that is already in place, thereby reducing installation costs.
This document will explain how to program the instruments Ethernet
chipset through its TCP/IP interface. It will also list typical equipment
required and provide some troubleshooting information. The end of this
chapter includes examples of T568A and T568B wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over cables.

automatically begin searching for attached devices. The Hardware
Address (MAC Address) for the REMOTE-4PN will be displayed
as shown in Figure 4-2.
• Confirm the device by verifying that the Hardware address
displayed in DeviceInstaller matches the address on the back of the
instrument.
