Ethernet
Connection
This section describes connection to the Ethernet.
Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the Annotator 300 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 300 to an Ethernet LAN.

Default Address
To access the Annotator 300 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 300.
