Connecting The Ethernet Cable - Grundfos CIM 500 Installations- Und Bedienungsanleitung

3.2 Connecting the Ethernet cable

Use RJ45 plugs and an Ethernet cable. Connect the
cable screen to protective earth at both ends.
It is important to connect the cable screen
to protective earth by means of the earth
clamp or in the connector.
For GRM IP communication, ensure that
the network is protected by a firewall.

CIM 500 is designed for flexible network installation.
The built-in two-port switch makes it possible to
daisy chain from product to product without the need
of additional Ethernet switches. The last product in
the chain is only connected to one of the Ethernet
ports. Each Ethernet port has its own MAC address
and CIM 500 has a built-in switch which means that
the cable can run another 100 metres whenever
passing a CIM 500 module.
