2.4.3 Connecting the Ethernet Interface
The device provides two 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports for connection to the Ethernet
network. The dual ports provide Ethernet redundancy.
¾ To connect the Ethernet interface:
1. Connect a standard Category 5 network cable to the Ethernet RJ-45 port (labeled
ETH) on the device's rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the Category 5 network cable to your IP network.
3. For Ethernet redundancy/backup, repeat steps 1 through 2 for the second Ethernet
port.
The RJ-45 connectors are wired according to the figure below:

Notes:
• For Ethernet redundancy, it's recommended to connect each of the
Ethernet connectors to a different switch.
• When assigning an IP address to the device using HTTP (refer to
'Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP' on page 23), you may be required
to disconnect the Ethernet cable and re-cable it differently.
