Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Interface

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

CAUTION

  • Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet emission limits.

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

1Attach the supplied ferrite core with the machine to the end of an Ethernet interface cable.

2Make sure the main power is switched off.

3Connect the Ethernet interface cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port.

4Connect the other end of the Ethernet interface cable to a network connection device such as a hub.

5Turn on the main power switch of the machine.

  1. Indicator (orange)

    When data is transmitted or received, the LED is lit orange. When data is not transmitted or received, it is turned off.

  2. Indicator (green)

    When 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T is operating, the LED is lit green. When the machine is not connected to the network, it is turned off.

Note

  • Use an Ethernet interface cable that supports "Ethernet Speed". If you select [AutoSelct:Enable 1Gbps] for "Ethernet Speed", use an Ethernet interface cable that supports 1000BASE-T.

  • For details about how to turn on the main power switch, see "Turning On the Main Power", Getting Started.
