Installation manual
1 INTRODUCTION
The Planmeca Ethernet Interface is for use with the Planmeca Dixi3 digital intra X-ray system
or with the Planmeca Proline XC X-ray with Dimax3 system and Planmeca Dimaxis Pro and
Dimaxis Classic imaging softwares. This manual describes how to install and use the system.
Please read this manual carefully before installing and using the system. Refer also to the
Planmeca Intra and Planmeca Dixi3 digital intra X-ray unit’s and / or Planmeca Proline XC X-
ray with Dimax3 user’s and installation manual.
NOTE The Planmeca Intra X-ray or Prostyle Intra X-ray and Planmeca Proline XC as
well as Dimaxis software have separate manuals, which should be used in con-
junction with this manual.
NOTE The Planmeca Ethernet Interface must be located outside the patient area.

2.2 Installing Planmeca Ethernet Interface
To install the Planmeca Ethernet Interface first attach the Ethernet interface box to the power
supply and plug the power supply to the mains. Check that the
OK indicator light on the Plan-
meca Ethernet Interface box comes on (see picture below).
Attach the RJ45 Cat. 5 UTP cable from 10/100 Base-T directly to the hub or the cross-con-
nected Cat. 5 UTP cable to the computer. The
Link light comes on on the Planmeca Ethernet
Interface.
Attach the 15m interconnection cable from Dixi3 either to Port 1 or Port 2 (or to both of them
in case you use two Dixi2 systems). Check also that the
PWR (power) light comes on.

4 Planmeca Ethernet interface Installation manual
Installing the Intra sync cable
The sync cable synchronizes the exposure and receiving the image, i.e. detects the start of
the exposure. The sync cable is required when you want to store the exposure parameters
with the image.
It is also required when you want to use the Planmeca Intra control panel in the Dimaxis 4.0
software
Intraoral Exposure window. The exposure parameters can be set in this window if
you are using the Planmeca Intra with updated software 3.0.3. The control panel logic is iden-
tical to that of the Planmeca Intra remote control.
If you are NOT connecting any other equipment to the Ethernet interface, use the Planet
grabber cable with one connector. In this case connect the interconnection cable from Dixi3 to
Port 1.
If you are using the Planet grabber cable with two connectors, note that the connectors are
numbered. If you connected the interconnection cable to port 1connector, you must connect
the 10m/male/female cable to the Planet connector number 1, and if you connected the inter-
connection cable to port 2connector, you must connect the 10m/male/female cable to the
Planet connector number 2.
Connect the 10m/male/female cable between the Planet connector on the generator box and
Planet grabber cable.
Installing the Dimaxis software
Install the Dimaxis Pro or Dimaxis Classic software to your computer in case it is not yet
installed (refer to Dimaxis Pro Installation manual, publication number 10006119, or Dimaxis
Classic Installation manual, publication number 10006182).

3.2 Installing Planmeca Ethernet Interface
1. To install the Planmeca Ethernet Interface first attach the Ethernet interface box to the
power supply and plug the power supply to the mains. Check that the
OK indicator light
on the Planmeca Ethernet Interface box comes on (see picture below).
2. Attach the RJ45 Cat. 5 UTP cable from 10/100 Base-T directly to the hub or the cross-
connected Cat. 5 UTP cable to the computer. The
Link light starts to flash on the
Planmeca Ethernet Interface.
3. Connect the Planet grabber cable to the Planer connector and connect the
interconnection cable to the Planet grabber cable.
If you are NOT connecting any other equipment to the PC, use the Planet grabber cable
with one connector. In this case connect the PC data cable to Port 1.
When using the Planet grabber cable with two connectors note, that the connectors of
the Planet grabber cable with two connectors are numbered. If you connect the
interconnection cable to connector number 1, you must connect the PC data cable to the
port 1, and if you connect the interconnection cable to connector number 2, you must
connect the PC data cable to the port 2.
4. Connect the PC data cable from Planmeca Proline XC keyboard processor PCB either to
Port 1or Port 2(or to both of them in case you use two systems). Check also that the
PWR (power) light comes on.
Install the Dimaxis Pro or Dimaxis Classic software to your computer in case it is not yet
installed (refer to Dimaxis Installation manual, publication number 10006119).

UPGRADING ETHERNET INTERFACE SOFTWARE
16 Planmeca Ethernet interface Installation manual
7 UPGRADING ETHERNET INTERFACE SOFTWARE
Required items:
- The file containing a new software version, for example dixibox1_4_2_0R.sr
- The loader software
- A cross connected Cat. 5 UTP cable to the computer or possibility to use 10.1.0.x IP
addresses in the local network
Upgrading the software
While the Set button is pressed and held with a sharp pin when the Planmeca Ethernet Box is
powered up, Ethernet Box will boot up using the 10.1.0.5 IP address and listen for a new soft-
ware on the network. To be able send data to that IP address on the local network, the Com-
puter IP address must be changed to 10.1.0.x, i.e. the computer must be in the same subnet
as the Ethernet box.
1. To change the computer’s IP address, select
Network Connections from the Control
panel. Then double-click the Local Area Connection. The Local area connection status
window appears. Click Properties.
