10/100BaseT Networks
A patch (straight-through) cable is used to connect a PLC (or PC) to a hub or to a repeater.
Use a crossover cable to connect two Ethernet devices (point-to-point) together. It is
recommended that pre-assembled cables be purchased for convenient and reliable networking.
The above diagram illustrates the standard wire positions of the RJ45 connector. It is
recommended that Catagory 5, UTP cable, be used for all ERM 10/100BaseT cables.
Refer to the ERM manual for using the fiber optic cable with the H2-ERM-F.
An explanation of the use of the ERM Workbench software is too lengthy for this manual.
The full use of the workbench and NetEdit utilities is discussed in the ERM manual.
