3. INSTALLATION
It is important to stress that it is understood by network cable a pair of RJ45 male connectors connected by a UTP or ScTP
cable, category 5 whether straight connecting or cross-over. It is used to communicate two devices through the Ethernet port.
These cables normally have a connection lock which guarantees a perfect connection between the interface female con-
nector and the cable male connector. At the installation moment, the male connector must be inserted in the module female
connector until a click is heard, assuring the lock action. To disconnect the cable from the module, the lock lever must be used
to unlock one from the other.
