4 Hardware Installation
4.1 Enclosure
The enclosure of the product and its terminal layout are shown on the installation sheet
found in the product’s box.
4.2 Product Label
The product label on the side of the L-IP contains the following information:
L-IP order number with bar-code (e.g. LIP-3ECTC, LIP-33ECTC, or LIP-33ECRB),
serial number with bar-code (Ser#),
unique node ID and virtual ID of each port (NIDx and VIDx) with bar-code,
Ethernet MAC ID with bar-code (MAC1).
Unless stated otherwise, all bar codes are encoded using “Code 128”. An additional label is
also supplied with the L-IP for documentation purposes. The specific contents of the
product label are shown on the installation sheet found in the product’s box.
A virtual ID (VID) is a Node ID on the IP channel. Internally the 2-Port (LIP-xxECTB,
LIP-xxECTC) and the 4-Port (LIP-xxxxECTB, LIP-xxxxECTC) version of the L-IP use up
to 5 individual routers which are connected over a TP/XP-1250 backbone (see Figure 15
and Figure 17). On the attached label, only the external NIDs (number 1-3 or 1-5) are
printed. Since the NIDs are organized in a continuous number block, the internal NIDs can
be derived by incrementing the numbers printed on the label (number 4-6 or 6-10, see
Figure 16 and Figure 18).
