HAPTER NSTALLATION
Connecting Ethernet
The bracket of the ARMC/3P provides a RJ45 connector for Ethernet. The connec-
tor is used either for a 100 Mbps 100Base-TX connection or for a 10 Mbps
10BASE-T connection. The adapter can sense the connection speed and will
adjust to the appropriate operation mode automatically.
10 Mbps Connection
For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks the Fast Ethernet adapter uses category 3, 4, or
5 UTP cable. To establish a 10 Mbps connection, the cable has to be connected to
a 10BASE-T hub.
1. Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T
adapter.
2. Align the RJ45 plug with the notch on the adapter 's connector and insert it into
the adapter 's connector.
100 Mbps Connection
For 100BASE-TX Ethernet networks the ARMC/3P supports category 5 UTP
cabling. To establish a 100 Mbps connection, the cable has to be connected to a
100BASE- TX hub.
1. Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX
adapter.
2. Align the RJ45 plug with the notch on the adapter 's connector and insert it into
the adapter 's connector.
