Ethernet
Connection
This section describes connection to the Ethernet.
Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the Annotator can be connected to an Ethernet
LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS or software control of the unit possible using a
computer connected to the same LAN.
Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application.
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the Annotator.
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the Annotator to an Ethernet LAN.

Default Address
To access the Annotator via the Ethernet port, you need the unit’s IP address. If the address
has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual numeric IP
address can be determined using the ping utility. If the address has not been changed, the
factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.
Ping can also be used to test the Ethernet link to the Annotator.
