Revision d1
Networking Basics
Network Bandwidth (Capacities)
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transmitted
through the network (“data pipe”)
• There are many pieces that make up the network. Generally, there
is a PC, network connection, network wiring, network hardware
(routers, switches) and if there is external communication, an ISP
(internet service provider).
• NOTE: throughput through the network is only as fast as the
slowest segment because many factors effect the actual amount of
data that can be carried.
Revision d1
Networking Basics
Network Bandwidth – Speed
Understanding the speeds of networking
• Speeds are generally expressed in terms of millions of bits
per second as megabit.
• Typical Ethernet networks are 100 megabits.
• Newer Ethernet networks are 1 gigabit and can carry 1,000,000,000
(billion) bits per second.
Revision d1
Networking Basics
Typical bandwidth usage by eMerge
• Network Controller to Expansion Node Programming
= 1 megabit per second maximum
• Network Controller to Expansion Node normal operation
=25 kb per second maximum
• Network Controller to computer
=75 kb per second maximum

TCP/IP Address information
TCP/IP Addressing, commonly referred to as IP Addressing is how devices
known as Hosts (PC, Server, Router, eMerge) are identified on a Ethernet
Network.
The components of IP Addressing;
MAC Address:
this is a unique number set at the factory for each
Ethernet device. The MAC Address cannot be
defined by a user or Network Admin. It is hardcoded.
IP Address: a unique 32-bit binary number that identifies the
Host on a network.
Subnet Mask:
Revision d1
a 32-bit binary number that identifies which portion of
the IP Address is the Network ID and which is the Host
ID.

Networking Basics
What is an IP Address?
• An IP address is like your telephone number or your
home address, each one is entirely unique. Every
computer on the Internet has its very own IP address.
• The standard format is four groups of numbers called
octets that are separated by periods, and each
number is an integer between 0 and 255.
• For example, a typical IP address would look like this:
192.168.0.250
• In order for two devices on the same network to
communicate with each other, they must have the
same first three octets (Network ID). In the example
above, to communicate to that device, your PC must
have the same first 3 octets and a unique 4th octet
[192.168.0].251
Revision d1

Revision d1
Networking Basics
IP Addresses come in “public” and “private”
A public address is assigned by an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) e.g.
Verizon. This is the Internet connection
for the facility.
24.122.43.21
02-32-30-00-BB-01
Ethernet
A private address is local to
the LAN or WAN of the facility
and is determined by the DHCP
server on the premises or the
Network Administrator of the
facility.

Networking Basics
An IP Address may be DYNAMIC or STATIC
A Dynamic IP Address is assigned automatically by the DHCP Server
of the network. This IP Address can be setup to expire requiring the
Host to get a new IP Address from the DHCP server. This method is
used in both Public and Private networks.
A Static IP Address is assigned by the Network Administrator. The
Network Administrator will actually type in the IP Address of the Host
device and this IP Address will not expire or change by itself. Usually
needed for key network devices such as routers, servers and printers.
The eMerge Network Controller will require a Static IP Address.
Revision d1
Networking Basics
Ports and Port Usage
•
Ports allow multiple data streams to
go to a single address

Ribbon cable
Slot numbers are determined by the connector on the ribbon cable that is plugged into the module.
The ribbon cable (see diagram below) is a bus and a module’s place on the bus determines the slot
number. You will see that it is possible to place a module in physical slot 5 and yet attach ribbon cable
connector 6 to the module. If this occurs the module will be in slot 6 on the bus.

Database (System) Backups
The database configuration of your eMerge should be backed up if you make changes to the setup, add or
change personnel security records, apply a software service pack or upgrade your software level. As of
version 3.0 any configuration changes and person records saved are written to ROM as well as RAM. So if
you loose power you do not loose any changes since the last backup.
NOTE: Backups remain on the compact flash until they are deleted.

Email Address
eMerge may be configured to send email notifications of alert conditions. The Email Server used to send email
indentified here should be set up by the network administrator so it will recognize the Network Controller’s email
address.

Setting a Threat Level
Threat Levels may be activated either by accessing the Set Threat Level page and selecting the desired threat
