1 Installation
The expansion cards IFC ETTP and IFC ETCX are used to connect the
operator terminals to an Ethernet network for communication via TCP/IP. The
connection can be made by either twisted pair (TP) or coaxial cable (CX).
Further information about configuration of the terminals to TCP/IP network is
available in the manual for the terminals.
This chapter describes how to mount the expansion card in the terminal.
1.1 Installation of one expansion card
Perform the following steps to mount an IFC ETTP or IFC ETCX expansion
card:
1. Switch the terminal power off.
2. Make sure that the ESD protection is good.
3. Remove the cover plate on the rear of the terminal, and the two expansion
plates on the short side. In terminals equipped with two expansion slots, the
slots are called Slot 1 and Slot 2. In terminals with only one expansion slot,
it is called Slot 1.

Slot 2

Installation

4. Put the jumper J1 on the expansion card in the position SLOT 1 if the
expansion card is mounted in Slot 1, and in position SLOT 2 if the card is
mounted in Slot 2.
5. Mount the expansion cables with the components of the expansion card
placed upwards. One of the expansion cables is mounted between X1 on the
CPU card and X1 on the expansion card, and the other cable between X2
on the CPU card and X2 on the expansion card.
6. Fasten the card with the spacers or the screws. Use the screws if the
expansion card is mounted in Slot 1, and the spacers if the card is mounted
in Slot 2.
7. Check that the expansion cable is correctly mounted.
8. Mount the cover plates.

1.2 Installation of two expansion cards
Two expansion cards can be mounted in some terminals. They are mounted in
parallel to the connector on the CPU card in the terminal. Two expansion cards
can be connected via one expansion cable since there is a parallel contact on the
cable. The connector in the middle is used for the expansion card placed in Slot
1, and the end connector is used for the expansion card placed in Slot 2. If only
one card is used either connector can be used.
The connector X1 on the expansion card in Slot 2 is connected to the connector
X1 and the CPU card in the terminal via the X1 connector on the expansion
card in Slot 1. If the X2 connector on the CPU card in the terminal is used by
any or both cards, this connector is connected to the X2 connector on the
expansion card.
When two expansion cards are mounted in the same terminal you mount the
card in Slot 1 with the distances and the card in Slot 2 with the screws in the
distances.

1.3 The LEDs on IFC ETCX and IFC ETTP
The expansion cards IFC ETCX and IFC ETTP have three and four LEDs
respectively. The LEDs have the following functions:
SEL, YELLOW. The LED is activated when the port on the expansion card is
accessed from the processor in the terminal.
TxD, YELLOW. The LED is activated by Ethernet transmit activity.
RxD, YELLOW. The LED is activated by Ethernet receive activity.
LINK, GREEN. Only valid for IFC ETTP. The LED is activated when
the Ethernet (twisted pair) cable is connected correctly.

2 Settings in the programming tool
Perform the following steps to use an Ethernet connection with IFC ETTP and
IFC ETCX expansion cards.
2.1 Define slot
1. Select Setup/Peripherals.

Settings in the programming tool

2. Select the slot defined with jumper J1 on the expansion card and click Edit.
3. Select type of expansion card, in this case IFC ETTP for connection via
twisted pair cable, or IFC ETCX for coaxial cable.
Then click OK.

2.2 Settings for TCP/IP
1. Make the settings for TCP/IP in Peripheral configuration.
Drag the TCP/IP Connection 1 icon from Unused functions to
IFC ETTP or IFC ETCX on Slot 1 or Slot 2. The blinking arrows indicate
where it is possible to drop it. TCP/IP Connection 1 must be used before
TCP/IP Connection 2 can be used.

2. Mark TCP/IP Connection 1 and click Edit to make the settings for the
TCP/IP network.

In this menu the name of the connection, the IP address and subnet mask are
defined.
Connection name
Enter a mnemonic name of the connection. This parameter is optional.
Host configuration
Select Manual to use the TCP/IP settings stated in the dialog. Select the other
alternatives when a server provides the terminal with one or several of the
TCP/IP parameters.
TCP/IP Settings
IP address and subnet mask
State the node’s network identity. Connection in a network is made according
to Ethernet standards. For a local network between the terminals, using the
addresses 192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.254 is recommended.
Gateway
State the network unit in the local network that can verify the identifiers for the
other networks on Internet.
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS
State the servers containing information about a part of the DNS database.
3. Click OK after filling out the form.

Ethernet connections
The section below shows three examples of Ethernet connections between two
terminals.
Connection etween two terminals via pair twisted ca le
The maximum length between the terminals is 100 m. The cable is a CAT5 pair
twisted cable, screened or not screened, equipped with RJ45 connectors.
T P/IP settings in the nodes
Note!
If the communication does not work properly, and the LED marked Link on the IF
ETTP card is off, connections 3 and 6 are probably switched.

Connection with more than two terminals via pair twisted ca le
The maximum length between terminal and hub is 100 m. The number of
terminals per hub is limited by the number of connections to the hub. The cable
is a CAT5 pair twisted cable, screened or unscreened, equipped with RJ45 con-
nectors.

Connection via coaxial ca le
In the network the coaxial cable RG58 is used. Bus endings of 50 Ohm must be
used. Several coaxial cables can be connected with repeaters in order to use
longer networks. The network will then comprise different segments.
The maximum length of a segment is 185 m, with a maximum number of 30
units in each segment. Four repeaters can be serial connected, which means that
five segments may be serial connected. Only three of the segments can have units
connected. This means that there must be at least two empty segments in the
network. The RG58 network cable must be grounded in one side.
