ETC II Network Communicator

Internet Connections
The ETC II is connected to the Internet either via a local Ethernet network, or
via public telephone lines using a Dial-Up PPP connection.
Connecting a device with the factory-set IP address to the Ethernet network can
disrupt communications if the IP address exists on the network. Change the IP
address in your ETC II as instructed in Section 4 before connecting a device to the
network.
Ethernet Connection
Plug the end of the Ethernet cable that came with your device into the wall
Ethernet jack or into the Ethernet hub jack, and the other end into the RJ45
jack at the front of the ETC II marked ETHERNET.

Chapter 5 for instructions on how to program your device for networking via
Ethernet.
CELLULAR Port (optional)
A 2G/3G Cellular modem port provides a direct connection of the ETC II to a
public area cellular network through the TCP/IP protocols. The device has
onboard TCP servers configured for the Modbus/TCP (at TCP port 502)
communications. The TCP server can support up to 5 simultaneous
connections with MODBUS/TCP client applications.
Connection through the CELLULAR port does not require device
identification. The ETC II responds to any device address and returns the
received address in the response message.
