  Mounting and Module Dimensions 
 
 
See the Model 9116 Data Sheet for exact dimensions of the module.  A detailed mechanical 
drawing is also included in Appendix E. 
 
2.3.4  
Network Communications Hookup 
 
Every NetScanner
 System Intelligent Pressure Scanner contains a Host Port, allowing it to be 
interconnected in a network with other modules and a host computer.  Model 9116 has an 
Ethernet Host Port using TCP/IP and UDP/IP transmission protocols. 
 
2.3.4.1  
Ethernet Host Port Hookup 
 
The Ethernet Host port of every Model 9116 Intelligent Pressure Scanner module, and its host 
computer, may be interconnected in a “star” network via a standard 10BaseT or 100BaseT, half 
or full duplex hub or switch.  These standard devices will have their own power requirements. 
Hubs will treat the host computer connection and all NetScanner
 System module connections 
alike.  Switches may provide, or negotiate different speeds and/or different handshaking on its 
various ports.  The Model 9116 will auto-negotiate through the hub or with the switch, for a half 
or full duplex connection at 10BaseT or 100BaseT speeds, establishing the best connection 
available.  Ethernet communications pin assignments for the Model 9116 electrical connector 
are shown in Figure 2.2.  See Figure 2.3 for typical network topology.
