5-6 Setup and Connecting to the Ethernet 947191 StrainBook/616 User’s Manual
LAN with no DHCP Server
(Local Area Network with no Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server)
This scenario looks the same as that shown in the previous illustration, except there is no Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). In this type of setup, one or more computers are connected to a network;
and each computer has a static IP address.
STEP 3 – Connect the System Components
Reference Note:
For examples of StrainBook/616 system connections, including cable use, refer to Chapter 3, Connectors
and Indicators and Chapter 11, System Expansion.
What you will need to connect a StrainBook/616 to the Ethernet:
An available connection to the Ethernet. The connection can be either
- an Ethernet jack on a computer or
- an Ethernet jack on a hub that is connected to the Ethernet.
An Ethernet patch cable, e.g., a CA-242 (1.5 foot cable) or a CA-242-7 (7-foot cable).
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack on the StrainBook/616.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack on the host computer or
network hub.

Power-up the System Components
When powering up a StrainBook/616 system it is important that the StrainBook/616 is powered
last, and that the most remote system components are powered first. Other power-up sequences
may result in software’s failure to recognize all components.
*
First, power-on the WBK expansion modules, if applicable.
Second, power-on the StrainBook/616.
* An exception to this power-up scheme is to power-on the entire system at once.
What you will need:
One or more +10 to +30 VDC power supplies with a male DIN5 connector. The number of supplies
depends on the devices in your acquisition system.
Note: The switching-mode power supply that is commonly used with these systems has an input
range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The power supply’s output [to the
device] is typically 15 VDC @ 3.33 amps via a DIN5 connector.
It is likely that you will use a TR-40U AC power adapter with your StrainBook/616 and a
separate TR-40U for each WBK expansion module, if applicable.
Note: Various AC adapter models support power grids of USA, Europe, Japan, and Asia.
