Network Connections
The SLC 8000 network interfaces are 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet for use with a conventional
Ethernet network as shown in Figure 2-10. Use standard RJ45-terminated cables, like Category 5
or 6 patch cable. CAT5E or better cables are recommended for 1000 Base Ethernet. Network
parameters must be configured before the SLC console manager can be accessed over the network.
Note: One possible use for the two Ethernet ports is to have one port on a private,
secure network and the other on a public, unsecured network. The SLC 8000 can also be
equipped with a factory-installed NIC (Ethernet RJ45 or SFP ports). The NIC with SFP
ports can support single/multi-mode fiber or copper SFP transceiver modules at 1 Gigabit
speed.
