Connecting to Network Ports
The EMG network ports, 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, allow remote access to the attached
devices and the system administrative functions. Use a standard RJ45-terminated Category 5
cable to connect to the network port. A CAT5e or better cable is recommended for use with a 1000
Base-T Ethernet connection.
Note:
One possible use for the two Ethernet ports is to have one port on a private,
secure network, and the other on an unsecured network.
Modular Expansion for Connectivity Module Bays
The EMG module configuration can be changed by adding or replacing connectivity modules in
the Connectivity module bays. Bay 1 and Bay 2 may be populated in any order and one or both
bays may be left empty. The bays are ordered from left to right: Bay 1 is the slot on the left side of
the back panel and Bay 2 is the slot to the right of Bay 1. See
Any changes to the connectivity modules must be done while the EMG unit is powered off.
