6. Ethernet Communications Ethernet Communications Ethernet Connection There are two options for controlling your XFR power supply via Ethernet Connecting to a Network or Connecting Directly to your Computer The first option is to connect the power supply to a network and control the unit from your computer which is also connected to the network The second option is to connect the XFR directly to your computer s network interface card NIC This bypasses the need for an existing network Connecting to a Network All that is required to connect your XFR to a network is a straight through CAT 5 network cable and an available network port Connecting Directly to your Computer TM XR9B 01 XN To connect your XFR directly to your computer you will need a cross over CAT 5 network cable You will also need to check your network settings on your computer to ensure that you are using a static IP address Check with your IT department for assistance Installation and Configuration Locating the Power Supply on Your Network l Record the MAC address for your power supply This will be visible at the back of the XFR on the interface card subplate For example MAC Address 00429D 22EF45 MAC Address Insert the Xantrex XFR Ethernet Software Utilities CD into your CD drive If the CD does not start automatically double click the My Computer icon double click the CD icon and then double click autorun_main htm When th
