Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Interface

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

Important

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

  • Use the following Ethernet cables.

    • When using 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T:

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

    • When using 1000BASE-T:

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

1Make sure the main power is switched off.

2Connect the Ethernet interface cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port.

  1. Indicator (green)

    When 10BASE-T is operating, the LED is lit green. When 100BASE-TX is operating it is turned off.

  2. Indicators (both green and yellow)

    When 1000BASE-T is operating, both LED are lit.

  3. Indicator (yellow)

    When 100BASE-TX is operating, the LED is lit yellow. When 10BASE-T is operating, it is turned off.
