BATMFour Ethernet Cabling

This guide demonstrates how to install Ethernet for your Internet connection on a BATMFour.

1. Remove the cable port plate:

  • Use the 7mm nut driver (provided with the BATM) to remove the 2 nuts.

  • Feed the cable through the now exposed hole.

  • Replace the plate, reversing the notch, to hold the Ethernet cable.

WARNING: do NOT pinch the Ethernet cable.

2. Feed the cable & reattach the plate (reverse the notch).

  • 75cm (about 30 inches) length of internal cable should suffice.

  • A few zippy ties will work well as strain relief. Use 2 or more zippy ties (as needed).

  • Don’t overtighten the zippy ties, knot, or pinch the cable.

3. Remove the controller cover plate.

4. Run the cable to the controller - avoid power cables & pinch hazards.

6. Replace the control area cover plate to it’s original location.

5. Apply power, boot the BATM & test the Ethernet connection.

  • Do not use WiFi with Ethernet - the two may compete & produce unpredictable results.
