Model 2701 Instrument Networking Instruction Manual
Overview
Keithley’s Model 2701 is a multipoint measurement and control system that fully integrates
instrument quality resolution and sensitivity in an Ethernet-based data acquisition (DAQ)
system. The Model 2701 is designed for a 10/100BaseTX network using standard RJ-45
connectors. This is an eight wire connector, but only two sets of wire pairs are used: one pair to
transmit and one pair to receive data. A 10BaseT network can accommodate transmission
speeds up to 10Mbit per second where a 100BaseTX network operates at speeds of up to
100Mbit per second. Both types of networks usually require Ethernet hubs to make
connections. The exception is a one to one connection using a cross over cable, which may be a
10BaseT or 100BaseTX dependent on the PC’s Ethernet interface card and which category of
cable is used.
Information on four connection schemes is detailed in this section:
•
Direct connection—PC to Model 2701 through a cross over cable (provided).
•
Hub connection—PC to one or more Model 2701s.
•
Dual interface card connection—PC with two interface cards. (One for the Model 2701
network and one for the corporate network—each network isolated.)
•
Corporate network connection—requires IS/IT or Network Administrator.
