Device Connections
5.1.
Ethernet Devices
To connect your Ethernet devices to the SMX-RNS02 module, you must set up an IP in the IP range
that you have given to the SMX-RNS02 module.
Example
If your SMX-RNS02 module is in the following settings
IP: 192.168.168.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
IP (PC): 192.168.168.250
In this case, you must provide an IP address for your devices in the range of [192.168.168.1
– 192.168.168.249] and [192.168.168.251 - 192.168.168.253]
After you adjust your field device's IP addresses, you can connect your devices to 2 Ethernet ports on
the SMX-RNS02. You do not need to make any adjustments other than IP address.
Faulty or incomplete connection may damage you, those around you, or devices.
5.2.
Use of Ethernet Ports as a Switch
With the "KSZ8895" Microchip used in the SMX-RNS02 module, your Ethernet devices that you
connect to module can communicate with each other.
