LAN and Com Bus Connections
Planning and Installation Manual 73
LAN and Com Bus Connections
The LAN (NIC) connections use a standard 10/100BaseT twisted pair
cable with RJ-45 connectors (Cat 5E Enhanced is recommended).
Shielded cable is also recommended, maximum length 60 meters.

Maximum length for unshielded cable is 100 meters.
LAN Monitoring Only (Jupiter Control)
In this arrangement the router is under Jupiter control and the only
purpose of the connection is LAN monitoring using Broadlinx web
pages or SNMP. See Figure 35.
Figure 35. LAN connections for LAN monitoring only (Jupiter Control)
If you plan on using a secondary Broadlinx board another Ethernet
cable must be connected from the “NIC B” jack to the network
switch.
If the Trinix LAN is connected to the Internet the connection should
be made through a firewall.

Compliance with EEC, EMC, EN series, UL- 1950, and CSA C22.2 No. 950-M89 standards requires use of a shielded cable.
