Figure 3: Straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables
To connect to the network
1 Make sure that the EB-34 is powered off.
2 Make sure that the network cable is connected to the customer site network.
3 Connect the network cable (straight-through Ethernet cable) to the upper Ethernet port on the back of the EB-34
(see Figure 6 on page 34).
The EB-34 provides twisted pair connectivity to an Ethernet network. When the network cable is connected, the
Ethernet interface automatically detects the speed of the network environment. Depending on your network speed,
the following unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cables are supported:
• 10BaseT: Category 3 or higher
• 100BaseTX: Category 5 or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
• 1000BaseT: Category 5e or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
Note: Make sure that the network cable is a straight-through Ethernet cable. For more information, see Figure 3 on
page 19.
After power on, the site administrator should perform network setup, verify the network connection, verify that the
EB-34 appears in the list of printers, and then print a few test documents from a networked computer that will use the
EB-34. For more information, see Configuration and Setup.
1 Straight-through cable: wire arrangements are identical on both connectors
2 Crossover Ethernet cable: wire arrangements are different (The wire arrangement shown
here is an example; actual arrangements may vary.)
Note: Align cables side by side and examine wires.
