VNET ETHERNET INTERFACE
Introduction
Thank you for choosing this product for your application. Please spare a little time to study
the contents of this operation manual, so that you obtain the best possible performance from
this unit.
Key Features
Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs).
Ethernet was commercially introduced in 1980 and standardized in 1985 as IEEE 802.3. Ethernet
has largely replaced competing wired LAN technologies. This product allows your Personal
Computer access to a network of VNET enabled devices for control and monitoring them.
It is connected to your computer or to your network via Ethernet. The three primary ways of
connecting your computer to this product are:
1. Direct one to one connection (using auto IP)
2. Through a switch router or hub
3. Through a DHCP router with 802.11g/n for wireless connection
Housed in a convenient, rugged steel case, it can be used free-standing or, using the rack-
mount kit, may be racked along with up to two additional accessory products in 1U rack-space.
• • Rugged steel enclosure
• • Free-standing or rack-mount options
• • Self-powered using Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
• • Capable of driving 1km of VNET network cable
• • No special cables
Computer System Requirements
Minimum requirements:
• • PC with >2 GHz processor >2 GB RAM
• • 32-bit or 64-bit Windows™ operating system
• • (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8).
• • CD-ROM drive or Internet access

Installation
Because the Ethernet interface uses Ethernet, no installation of drivers is necessary. However,
you will need to check the network settings on your PC, and install the PodWare application in
order to control and monitor VNET devices.
External Power Supply
This product may be powered from a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet switch. If such a
switch is not available, provision is made to power the unit from an external VNET interface
power supply. This can power either one or two compatible accessories. Either the A or the B
output on the power supply may be used since these are identical.
