Installation Instructions

Chapter 2

Connect the network cables to the sockets on the 1715-A2A adapter base unit.

To connect the adapter to the Ethernet network, follow these steps.

1. Insert the RJ45 modular jack on the cable into the appropriate socket for

each network connection.

2. Make sure the length of the cable does not exceed 100 m (328 ft).

Module Keying

Module keying, or polarization, prevents the wrong module from being inserted

into the wrong base unit. Modules are supplied with coding pegs that are already

fitted, so the modules are already ‘keyed’.

Electronic Keying is used within the Logix Designer application. Refer to

Appendix B

for additional information on Electronic Keying.
