A successful update will automatically reboot the EtherSync, however this can be done
manually by going to the bottom of
System>>Boot up and Shutdown
. Once this has
happened it is ready to use.
The 2
nd
Gigabit Ethernet port allows extension of the network
in a ‘daisy
-
chain’
to other devices, such as
additional EtherSyncs or computers. This is especially useful in situations where EtherSync is to be inserted
into an existing networked location or if more than one EtherSync is being used in close proximity.
EtherSync can also be connected to other Cambrionix products.
[Please note the daisy chaining of hubs
requires additional power supplies]
. For more information on this please contact [email protected]
Items required to ‘daisy
-
chain’ several EtherSyncs:
•
2 or more EtherSync units
•
2 or more RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cables
•
2 or more Power Supplies
[each EtherSync will need its own power supply]
1)
Connect the power to all EtherSyncs required in the ‘chain’
.
2)
Connect the first EtherSync to the network via the RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable
.
3)
Connect another EtherSync using a second RJ45 Ethernet cable by inserting one end into
the first EtherSync and the other end into the second EtherSync. You can repeat this step
with a third and subsequent EtherSyncs
.
NOTE
Do not form a loop of EtherSyncs by connecting the last EtherSync in the chain to the
network port.
