Connecting Ultripower to a Network
The
ETHERNET
port is a standard 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet connector and is used to exchange data and
communicate with control and monitoring applications such as DashBoard.
Contact your IT department before connecting to your facility network to ensure that there are no conflicts. They
will provide you with an appropriate value for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway for your device.
The Ultripower is connected directly to your network so that it can interface with the devices and the computer
running the DashBoard client. After a physical connection is established, DashBoard is used to configure the
network settings for the Ultripower.
For More Information on...

ETHERNET
port on the rear of the Ultripower.
