5. Attach the PoE injector to its ac power cord, and connect it to an ac power supply. The power
ON indicator will light.
6. Power on the host PC. If working in a standalone (non-networked) configuration and using a
laptop (or desktop PC) that has a wireless LAN card, disable the card’s wireless networking
function. Some laptops automatically disable the network interface card to conserve the
battery when not connected to an ac power supply. Ensure that the network interface card is
enabled. In most cases, there will be no need to change your firewall settings.
The digiBASE-E is supplied with two 10 ft (3 m) CAT5E Ethernet cables. Attach one
CAT5E cable to the IN (LAN) jack of the PoE injector, then connect it to the PC’s Ethernet
adaptor or to the LAN.
7. Attach the second CAT5E cable to the PoE injector’s OUT (LAN+DC) jack, and connect it
to the digiBASE-E.
2.3.4. Step 8: Use the DeviceController Program to “Attach” to the digiBASE-E
This section tells how to use the Ethernet DeviceConnection program to locate all (powered on)
digiBASE-Es on the network, and “attach” to the units you wish to control from your PC. This
attachment process flags the instrument as “belonging” to your PC. Then, when you then run the
MCB Configuration to locate all ORTEC MCBs on the network (Section 2.3.5), any digi-
BASE-Es you have attached will be displayed as if they are physically connected to your PC
IMPORTANT — DHCP SERVER AND DYNAMIC ADDRESSING
If using your network’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to assign a
dynamic IP address to your digiBASE-E (see Section 2.3.4.1), you must power on the PoE
injector and connect it to the LAN before connecting the second CAT5E cable to the
digiBASE-E. This is because, for the first 10 seconds the digiBASE-E is connected to the
LAN, it broadcasts an IP address request to the DHCP server. If it receives no response, it
defaults to the factory-assigned IP address discussed in Section 2.3.4.1 (which we strongly
recommend you read before using the digiBASE-E). If you miss the 10 second window,
simply disconnect/reconnect the network cable from the digiBASE-E to cycle its power. (If
connecting to a standalone PC [no network available], see Section 2.3.4.1.)
