CONNECTIONS
For a quick and easy start with the RMG/938 there are a few cable connections necessary.
4.1
Ethernet Link
The Ethernet link between the PC and
LAN1
of the RMG/938 can be made on two ways:
•
Direct with an Ethernet cross-over cable like shown in
fig. 1
.
•
With two standard Ethernet patch cables over a hub or switch like shown in
fig. 2
.
Figure 1:
Ethernet link with cross-over cable
Please note:
For the Ethernet connection in
fig. 1
it is required to use a
cross-over cable
. Do not
use an ordinary patch cable. Both types of cables are in most cases visual indistin-
guishable. But the internal wiring is fully different. Mixing up these types of cables
leads to LAN errors. Hence pay attention to the label of the cable or packing.

The IP address of the LAN1 interface is ex-factory set to
192.168.0.126
.
