Chapter. 4 Connecting a PC
4.1. Connecting the Gigabit Ethernet Interface to a PC
The system can have the operation of its functions performed from a PC using the Gigabit Ethernet
interface.This section explains the required setup when connecting the system to a PC.
To connect a PC to the system, connect the system to a commercially available
1000BASE-T-compatible interface board with a LAN cable. For the LAN cable, prepare a UTP or STP
Cat 5e (enhanced category 5) or higher LAN cable. (UTP: Unshielded Twisted Pair, STP: Shielded
Twisted Pair)
The maximum cable length between the PC and the system is 100 m (compliant to the 1000BASE-T
specification).. One PC can connect to a maximum of 64 Photron Gigabit Ethernet interface
equipped cameras using a hub. When connecting multiple devices, connect through a switching hub
that can connect at 1000BASE-T. The maximum length of the cable that connects the system (or PC)
to the switching hub is also 100 m.
The system has two sets of Gigabit Ethernet interface connectors incorporated. Using these two
connectors simultaneously will make much faster download of image data possible.

for detail instruction on
PC connection setting.

About the high-speed download feature using two cables, please see the explanation in “4.1.5
High-speed Download Feature” given in page 71.
•
Photron recommends using an STP cable over long distances or in noisy locations.
•
The system is only 1000BASE-T compatible. When using a PC compatible with only 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX, the PC must be connected through a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T
compatible switching hub.
•
The system's factory default IP address is below:
IP ADDRESS > GIGABIT ETHER1 192.168.0.10
GIGABIT ETHER2 192.168.1.10
NETMASK > GIGABIT ETHER 1 255.255.255.0
GIGABIT ETHER 2 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY ADDRESS > 0.0.0.0
PORT > 2000 (Fixed, not changeable)
