2.3 Connections and Setup
2.3.1 98RK-1 Chassis Connections with 9816 Scanners
STEP 1
Ensure correct line voltage and that the Power Switch for the 98RK-1 is in the OFF
position. Connect the 98RK-1 chassis to an adequate power receptacle and connect
an Ethernet cable from the 98RK-1’s host port (TO HOST) to an optional
10/100/1000Base-T hub, switch, or directly to your computer’s Ethernet card.
Figure 2.1 (on the next page) depicts a typical Pressure Systems’ NetScanner
™
System array.
Although this figure depicts the front and back of two 98RK-1 Scanner Interface Racks,
multiple 98RK-1 Racks, with up to eight (8) scanners per rack, may be networked together.
Each chassis provides scanner power supplies and pneumatic connections as well as switch
circuitry for up to eleven (11) 10/100Base-T connections, and a 10/100/1000Base-T (gigabit)
host link. This enables each chassis to connect with the host computer as well as with up to
three (3) additional scanners (and/or standard/ calibration units) which may be externally
attached to each rack.
2.3.2 Connections for External Modules
STEP 2
If you are connecting a Model 9016/9116, or 9021/9022 Intelligent Pressure Scanner,
a Model 903x Intelligent Pressure Calibrator or Standard, or a 9046 Intelligent
Temperature Scanner to the rear of your 98RK-1, connect the ruggedized circular
connector of the 9082 cable to your scanner’s connector port. Connect the other end
of the same cable to one of the ports on the rear of the 98RK-1 chassis labeled
“Remote NetScanner Module Interface.” (See Figure 2.1)
