2.1 Connecting the In-Sight 1700
The In-Sight 1700 has two RJ-45 connector ports: the Network port and the Breakout port
(see Figure 2-1). The Network port provides the Ethernet connection for network
communications. The Breakout port supplies connections for the 24VDC power source,
I/O, acquisition trigger, and serial communications.

2.1.1 Connecting the Network Cable
! If you are connecting to an Ethernet switch, plug one of the RJ-45 connectors of a
CAT5 straight-pinned cable into the Network port and plug the other end into an
available port on the switch.
! If you are connecting directly to an In-Sight sensor from a remote host, plug
one end of a CAT5 network cable into the crossover coupler and connect the
crossover coupler into the 1700 reader’s Network port; plug the other end into the
remote host’s Ethernet port.
