2.4.11 Ethernet
The 682 features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using the J8 connector ( Section 2.5 on page 11 ), and
can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client. An external RJ45 option is available.
Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the 682 using the EDP command set (
Section 12.0
on page 84 ), or data can be streamed continuously from the 682, or printed on demand.
The Ethernet port supports both DHCP and manual configuration of settings such as the IP and netmask. In addition, the TCP
Port number and the Default Gateway can be configured using the Ethernet sub-menu of the Ports setup menu. For more
information on configuring the Ethernet port see Section 4.5.4.3 on page 39 .
Physical connection to the 682 Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the 682 (AdHoc Network), or through a network
router or switch. The port supports auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cable configuration, allowing either straight-through or crossover
cables to be used. See Table 2-10 for the pin assignments for the J8 connector.
NOTE: When looking into the enclosure from the backside of the indicator, pin 1 of the J8 connector is at the bottom.
See Table 2-11 and Table 2-12 for the pin assignments when connecting an RJ45 Ethernet cable to the J8 connector.
There are two Ethernet wire standards (T568A and T568B). If the type of cable is unknown, use the wiring option in Table 2-11 .
The auto-sensing feature of the Ethernet port allows either of the wiring options to work. Trim the unused wires to get them
out of the way.
