• 4. EXB-IP module Hardware Installation
  • Install EXB-IP modules into the IP Network
    • A) Set the Option Switches:
    • B) Mount EXB-IP modules (See Appendix B for Mounting Option details):
      • Desk, Wall, or Rack Mounting
    • C) Make electrical connections (See Appendix C for connector details):
      • Grounding
      • MCN Network Connection
      • Ethernet Connection
      • The 10BaseT port utilizes a standard RJ45 connector. Cat 5 unshielded twisted pair cable should be used between the EXB-IP module and the hub. The length of this cable should be less than 100 meters (328 feet). IP Switch Manual Settings Note
