Ethernet Card Installation on Older Consoles
Both 10baseT and 10base2 Ethernet ports are built into all new 500 Series Console, usually those with green soft
keys. Older consoles, usually with purple soft keys, do not have Ethernet ports as standard and the following
procedure should be carried out to install them.
Before you can use Networker software the network interface card supplied with Networker must be installed in your
console.
IMPORTANT This procedure should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
If you have not been trained in Strand Console hardware ,support please refer to your dealer/supplier or Strand to
arrange installation by qualified personnel.
1. Use an ESD protective workmat and wriststrap to ensure that the console and Ethernet card are not subjected
to damaging electrostatic voltages.
2. Release the lid by loosening and removing the three large pan head screws in the base towards the front of the
console. This can best be accomplished by positioning the console so that the front protrudes over the edge of
a table.
3. Once the three screws are removed the top of the console can be gently raised. It is supported by gas struts -
however take care whilst working inside that you do not lean on the lid or tip the console forward causing the lid
to close.
4. Remove the blanking plate covering the aperture in the rear labelled Network Card, by removing the small pan
