Standard Ethernet color-coding for twisted pairs, based on MacArtney DIL8M PDF:

Twisted pairs:
- 1-2: Brown, Brown/white
- 3-4: Blue, Blue/white
- 5-6: Orange, Orange/white
- 7-8: Green, Green/white
The DVL A50 supports both UART and Ethernet interfaces for communication and configuration, as seen in this page.
- The DVL A50 uses a 3.3V TTL UART interface, and is 5 V tolerant
- UART pins: TX, RX, and common GND should be connected to a UART‑USB converter for communication
- Serial port settings:
- Baud rate: 115200 bps
- Format: 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)
- Flow control:
- The DVL A50 provides 10/100 BASE‑T Ethernet, enabling access to a web‑based GUI
- Access the GUI at http://waterlinked‑dvl
- Through the GUI you can:
- View live data visualizations
- Configure settings (e.g. network, acoustics, IMU calibration)
- Perform software updates and diagnostics
