Connecting to the Ethernet Interface

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

CAUTION

  • A network interface cable with a ferrite core must be used for RF interference suppression.

  • 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

1Make sure the main power is switched off.

2Connect the Ethernet interface cable to the 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 is operating, the LED is lit orange.

  2. Indicator (green)

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

Note

  • When Energy Saver mode is enabled, the LEDs may not light up.

  • For details about how to turn on the main power switch, see Turning On/Off the Power.
