2.2.3 Network Connection
There are two ways to use the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector located
on the EDG Series:
1. For Local Area Network (LAN) applications using the
EDG Series, you will simply plug one end of your Ethernet cable into the
10/100Base-T connector, and the other end into the hub connected to
your network.
2. When installing and configuring, you will find it convenient to hook
the EDG Series directly to your computer’s Ethernet card. To do this you
will need to use a “crossed-cable”, such as the one supplied with your
server.
Cabling requirements for the Ethernet side
Use an RJ-45 to connect the Ethernet port of the EDG Series to the net-
work hub. The cable for connection should be Category 3 (for 10Mbps
data rate) or Category 5 (for 100 Mbps data rate) UTP/STP cable, which
is compliant with EIA/TIA 586 specifications. Maximum length between
the hub and any EDG Series is up to 100 meters (ca.300 ft).
