Connecting to the Ethernet Interface

This section describes how to connect Ethernet interface cable to the Ethernet interface.

Important

  • If the main power switch is on, turn it off.

  • Use the following Ethernet cables.

    • Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP) and Category type 5 or more

1A ferrite core for the Ethernet interface cable is supplied with this machine. Attach the ferrite core at the machine end of the Ethernet cable

  1. Indicator (green)

    Lights up green when the machine is connected correctly to the network.

  2. Indicator (yellow)

    Lights up yellow when 100BASE-TX is in operation. Goes off when 10BASE-T is in operation.

Note
