CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 15 Connecting Ethernet The bracket of the ARMC/3P provides a RJ45 connector for Ethernet. The connector 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. Important: The UTP wire pairs and configuration for 100 BASE-TX cable are identical to those for 10 BASE-T cable when used with category 5 UTP cable.

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.
Important: The UTP wire pairs and configuration for 100 BASE-TX
cable are identical to those for 10 BASE-T cable when used with
category 5 UTP cable.
