DaqBook/2000E
WaveBook/516E
You can connect a WaveBook/516E directly to an Ethernet port on a PC or network hub, via the unit’s
built-in 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface. An Ethernet patch cable CA-242 (1.5 foot) or CA-242-7 (7 foot)
cable is used to make the connection. Note that either a straight-through or a cross-over cable may be used.
The circuitry automatically adjusts for the cable type to ensure proper connection.
Two methods of connecting a WaveBook/512A, /516, or /516A to the Ethernet are available. These are (1)
connect the unit to a WaveBook/516E, or (2) connect the unit to a WBK25 Ethernet Interface Module. In
both scenarios the DB25 Parallel Port of the WaveBook/512A, /516, or /516A device connects to one of
three Expansion Ports located on the WaveBook/2000E [or on the WBK25]. The connection would be
made with a CA-35-2 (2-foot) or a CA-35-12 (1-foot) cable.
Note: For the most part, the following Ethernet instructions apply to both WaveBook and DaqBook
Ethernet applications, with exceptions as noted. For illustrations or screen shots representing a
DaqBook/2000E, note that WaveBook/516E also applies, unless implied otherwise.
Connecting a DaqBook/2000E to the Ethernet
The WaveBook/516E connects in the same manner.
The DaqBook/2000E and WaveBook/516E connect directly to an Ethernet port [on a PC or network hub]
via the unit’s built-in 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface. An Ethernet patch cable CA-242 (1.5 foot) or
CA-242-7 (7 foot) cable is used to make the connection.
