WARNING:
Step 18 is
very important to prevent
network address errors
on the PC when the
process is complete.
18. Clear the ARP Cache by type arp –d * and press Enter . If this is
not done before quitting this process, the PC may create “ghost
IPs” on the LAN and cause serious problems with the network.
19. Type Exit to quit the command console.
TIA568A and
TIA568B wire
Examples
The TIA568A and TIA568B standards are used for creating Ethernet
cables. Either standard can be used to create a straight through cable
but both ends must be wired the same (TIA568A to TIA568A or
TIA568B to TIA568B).
Even though the TIA568A is considered the desired wiring standard for
either Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6, most cables built today are built using the
TIA568B standard. To avoid confusion or possible miswiring errors, it
advised to use whichever standard is the defacto standard used in the
facility.

Connect
REMOTE-4PN
to Ethernet
LAN
Connect Ethernet Cable to Instrument
Power OFF the Ethernet REMOTE-4PN before connecting the
instrument to a network then attach the network cable to the REMOTE-
4PN and the other end to the network receptacle. Apply power to the
instrument and check the port LEDs to make sure the connection is
working.
When all steps are completed, the REMOTE-4PN will supply data to
the LAN connection. After approximately 60 seconds, monitoring
equipment and software should “see” the instrument and be able to
retrieve data from it.
