General Information Remote Programming Setup and Interface
MS20xxC PM PN: 10580-00306 Rev. E 1-3
Interface between the MS20xxC and other devices on the network is via a category-five
(CAT-5) interface cable that is connected to a network. This cable uses 4 twisted pairs of
insulated copper wires that are terminated at an RJ45 connector. CAT-5 cabling is capable of
supporting frequencies up to 100 MHz and data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps, which
accommodates 1000Base-T, 100Base-T, and 10Base-T networks. CAT-5 cables are based on
the EIA/TIA 568 Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard developed by
the Electronics Industries Association. A pinout diagram is shown in Table 1-1.
Connectivity
TCP/IP connectivity requires setting up the parameters that are described at the beginning of
this section. The following is a brief overview of how to set up a general LAN connection on
the MS20xxC.
