Network
The following considerations must be determined prior to connecting the Ethernet Smart
Cable to a DHCP-based network:
•
An active Ethernet connection must be available, such as from an Ethernet hub
•
A standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable must be available
Observe the following steps to connect the Ethernet Smart Cable:
1. Connect the Ethernet Smart Cable to an Ethernet connection.
2. Connect the 5 V DC power supply to the Ethernet Smart Cable power connector. As a
result, the green PWR and RUN LEDs will illuminate. The green link LED on the
Ethernet Smart Cable RJ-45 connector illuminates, as shown in Figure 1, indicating a
live Ethernet connection. The green activity LED on the Ethernet Smart Cable RJ-45
connector flickers, indicating network activity.
