PT-Link II Hardware Connection
You have two options for connecting the PT-Link II to your PC via
Ethernet:
1.) You may connect the PT-Link directly to your PC by using
a crossover cable (by others) as shown. See Figure 3 for
details.
2.) You can also connect both your PC and the PT-Link to an
Ethernet Hub with standard CAT5 cables. See Figure 4
for details.
Locate a CAT5 cable and plug one end into your computer’s Ethernet
port (use a crossover cable if connecting directly to the PT-Link).
If connecting directly, plug the other end of the Cable into the Ethernet
port on the PT-Link. If connecting through an Ethernet Hub, plug the
other end of the PC cable into the hub, and use a second CAT5 cable
to connect the PT-Link to the hub as well.
Power up the PT-Link by plugging in the power cable. The PT-Link
may take up to three minutes to power up completely. Once the PT-
Link is powered up, you should notice that the green “GPI05” LED
light on the ProtoCessor Board remains on continuously. See Figure
21 on page 15 for a diagram showing the location of the ProtoCessor
“GPI05” LED.
