Two M3 mounting holes are provided along each side of the device allowing attachment of an optional
bracket (as shown in the illustration above). The bracket makes it easier for the customer to attach the
device into his mechanical system. A set of two brackets and four screws are supplied with the device.
Full device specifications are included in Appendix A below.

Connection Protocols:
There are four ways to connect to the device:
Telnet
HTTP
UDP
USB Virtual COM Port

the “server”. This type of connection can be used manually from a Telnet terminal, or can be programmed into the
user’s software application to add automation, in much the same way as using a COM port. This type of connection
protocol is used in the
“OphirEthernetApp”
PC application to control the device. Details are listed later on in this
document.
