you do not have to worry about the cable. Any Cat 3 or 5 cable will be sufficient.
Once Internet Access has been set up, disconnect the TVP-221H from configuring
PC and connect it directly to your ADSL Cable Modem or place it under a router
as configured.
2.5 Providing Power to the TVP-221H
To provide power to the TVP-221H complete the following steps:
1. Connect one end of the power cord that came with the TVP-221H to the
power jack on the rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
3. The TVP-221H will execute memory and application code testing
automatically.
2.6 Assigning an IP address to the TVP-221H
The IP address is the unique logical address identifying each IP node, such as the
TVP-221H, on an IP network. An IP address is a 32-bit number expressed as four
decimal numbers from 0 to 255 separated by periods. The TVP-221H can be
configured with a fixed IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (typically a
router). The TVP-221H can also be setup as a DHCP Client if your network has a
DHCP Server (typically a router). Additionally, the TVP-221H can also be
configured to use PPPoE. With PPPoE, you will have a Dynamic IP but combined
with Dynamic DNS, the TVP-221H will automatically notify DynDNS of your
changing IP Address and DynDNS will in turn, map it to your registered Domain
Name. Consult your network manager to obtain a unique and static IP address for
the TVP-221H, the IP subnet mask and default gateway of your network, and fill
out the work sheet in Appendix D before configuring the gateway. Procedures for
assigning IP address, default gateway and subnet mask is available in Chapter 4.
The first time you connect the TVP-221H for configuration, you will need to
connect to it under the same LAN segment to set the Fixed IP or DHCP, PPPoE
clients. To configure the TVP-221H, insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the
RJ45 port on the rear panel of the TVP-221H and other end directly to your PC
Terminal. The TVP-221H supports auto MDIX so you do not have to worry about
the cable. Any Cat 3 or 5 cable will be sufficient. Once Internet Access has been
set up, disconnect the TVP-221H from the configuring PC and connect it directly
to your ADSL Cable Modem or place it under a router as configured.
