Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Interface

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

If you use an Ethernet interface cable that supports 1000BASE-T, set [Ethernet Speed] to [AutoSelct:Enable 1Gbps] in [Interface Settings] in [System Settings].

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

1Make sure the main power is switched off.

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

3Connect the other end of the Ethernet interface cable to a network connection device such as a hub.

4Turn on the main power switch of the machine.

  1. Indicator (orange)

    When 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T is operating, the LED is lit orange.

  2. Indicator (green)

    When 10BASE-T or 1000BASE-T is operating, the LED is lit green.
