2.3.3 Mounting and Module Dimensions
See the Model 9116 Data Sheet for exact dimensions of the module. A detailed mechanical
drawing is also included in Appendix E.
2.3.4 Network Communications Hookup
Every NetScanner
™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanner contains a Host Port, allowing it to be
interconnected in a network with other modules and a host computer. Model 9116 has an
Ethernet Host Port using TCP/IP and UDP/IP transmission protocols.
2.3.4.1
Ethernet Host Port Hookup
The Ethernet Host port of every Model 9116 Intelligent Pressure Scanner module, and its host
computer, may be interconnected in a “star” network via a standard 10BaseT or 100BaseT, half
or full duplex hub or switch. These standard devices will have their own power requirements.
Hubs will treat the host computer connection and all NetScanner
™ System module connections
alike. Switches may provide, or negotiate different speeds and/or different handshaking on its
various ports. The Model 9116 will auto-negotiate through the hub or with the switch, for a half
or full duplex connection at 10BaseT or 100BaseT speeds, establishing the best connection
available. Ethernet communications pin assignments for the Model 9116 electrical connector
are shown in Figure 2.2. See Figure 2.3 for typical network topology.
