VTM Series Installation and Operation Handbook

4-41

One RCU Series connects to multiple VTM Series instruments using a multidrop

straight through wire with RJ-11 connectors (not a standard telephone wire) that

connects to the REMOTE ports on the back of the VTMs and to the TO MAIN UNIT

connector on the back of the RCU. All VTMs must have unique unit IDs, as described

in Unit ID on page 4-44. The REMOTE port must be terminated on the last VTM

Series using this menu.

Baud Rate

The Baud Rate is used to set the baud rate for the REMOTE port. If the Baud Rate is

not correct, the VTM Series will not communicate with the device that is connected to

the REMOTE Port.

IP Configuration

The IP CONFIGURATION menu is used to configure the VTM Series for Ethernet

communication. The Ethernet interface provides a high-speed communication link to

the third party applications (such as SNMP) over standard LAN and Internet networks.

The interface conforms to industry Ethernet standards:

• Connection via a standard RJ45 socket

• Automatic detection and switching between 10BaseT and 100BaseT

• SNMP Communications

• TCP/IP stack is fully compliant with RFC2500, “Internet Official Protocol

Standards”

• Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard

The interface can accept a static IP address, or it can obtain an IP address dynamically

from a DHCP server. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, DHCP are

programmable from the Unit Ethernet Setup menu system. The settings are performed

in the IP Configuration screen.

IP Address

The IP Address is used to select a static IP address (unless Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) will be used). The IP address must not be the same

address as another instrument or PC on the network. Network conflicts will occur if

two devices have the same IP address. See the System Administrator to determine a

static IP address that will avoid conflicts.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask is used to configure the Subnet Mask on a network if DHCP is not

enabled. If DHCP is not used to automatically detect the Subnet Mask on a network,

the Subnet Mask must be manually configured. Unlike the IP address, the Subnet

Mask must be the same Subnet Mask as the network Subnet Mask. See the System

Administrator to determine the Subnet Mask.
