A Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) connector labeled NET-1 is located on the rear panel for conventional 

network access. No hardware settings are available or needed, as Gigabit Ethernet automatically 
negotiates port speed.  Connection speed is shown by LEDs on the network connector.  The NET-1 

port also automatically configures transmit and receive connections, and does not need a 

“crossover” cable when connecting directly from one server to another.

The Gigabit Ethernet port labeled NET-2 on the Image Server is for redundant (mirrored) 

operation of two Image Servers. It does not use FTP protocol, and no connection should be 

made from it to other equipment. 

The high data rates generated by Gigabit Ethernet require high-quality cable designed for this 

application.  Low-quality network cables can result in high error rates and lower transmission 

speed.  For Gigabit operation, standard “CAT 5” cable should not be used. 
New Category 5e (enhanced) cables ensure maximum transfer rates, and should be used as the 

minimum standard.  Category 6 cable is a more recent product, designed for applications 

where longer cable runs are required.  

Configuring Network Settings 

The Image Server provides a number of user settings that configure it for use as a practical network.  

These will be found on the GUI System Network tab shown below. 
The NET-1 Ethernet port on the Image Server has a unique IP Address.  In this way, each Image 

Server can be identified on the network.  It also means that there is only one IP Address for a given 

volume of data.
