2.6 Network Connection
The rear panel’s Network Transient Protector allows the unit to be connected to a network. It
uses a single RJ-45 (10BaseT) network card. Plug the input connector to the “IN” connector and
the output connector to the “OUT” connector.
Two communication cards can be installed. The SNMP card allows control and management
over a network or the internet. The AS/400 card allows voltage free relay contacts. Contact
Alpha Technologies for more information and availability.
