3.5 LAN Connection
The LAN port allows the connection of the Blue Box to a Local Area Network or directly to a PC.
Thus, a retrieval of data and direct communication with the BlueBox is possible. This requires the installation
of the BlueBox PC software on your local computer (see Manual BlueBox PC Software).
The connection to a network is made by a RJ-45-connector at the bottom of the BlueBox (see also 3
.2/3.3 Con-
nections BlueBox T4
).
For this connection you have to choose one of two different connecting cables.
•
For connecting to a network you need a standard RJ-45 cable.
•
For connecting to a PC you need a RJ-45-crosslink cable.
(Only if the PC has no automatic switch of the network interface.)
Please ensure that the RJ-45-plug snaps into the socket with a click.
If the closing cannot be inserted on the socket, please put vaseline on the rubber seal and try it again care-
fully.
