User Manual
Revision Letter A
‘Out of the box’,
the IMx-16Plus is configured as a DHCP-client to obtain its IP
address automatically, if there is a DHCP-server available on the network to which it
connects.
For detailed information, refer to the @ptitude Observer On-line Device Configurator
User Manual. Help on using the various functionality of the SKF Multilog IMx
Manager app is available in-app.
2.5.3 Ethernet connection
The IMx-16Plus has one (10/100 Mbit) Ethernet port for connection to a local area
network (LAN). The port has auto cable detection (crossover or straight through
connection) and is available at an RJ-45 connector,
. Note that the Wi-Fi and
RJ45 interfaces share the same MAC address, as multiple network interfaces cannot
be enabled at the same time,
If the system is correctly connected to another network device, the green LED will
illuminate and the yellow LED will flicker when there is traffic on the network.

The IMx-16Plus supports Power over Ethernet, PoE (<13 W). PoE can be used
instead of or redundantly with the ‘normal’ 24 to 48
V DC supply.
•
Note: The Ethernet switch/router used, must also support PoE.
•
When using PoE, SKF recommends using a high-quality switch
•
In specific high demand configurations,
, PoE is not allowed
As a powered device (PD), the IMx-16Plus supports both mode A (power and data
on same pairs) and mode B (power on spare pairs), connections in active or passive
PoE installations. Refer to the relevant standards, IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at for
further information.
2.5.4 LTE/GSM (mobile) data configuration
The option to use mobile data instead of a LAN connection is, as discussed in
a part of the function of the configuration file. The mobile data module supports auto
switching between the various network types (2G/3G/4G). The module can work
world-wide and provide connectivity to the @Observer software service, via a TCP
