3.2 Devices Required for Network Configuration
This section explains the devices that are required to configure a network.
Network installation work requires sufficient safeguards; ask a network specialist for installation.
When connecting the Ethernet adapter to a network, either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX can be used.
The Ethernet adapter detects whether it is 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX, and full-duplex or half-duplex
transmission mode according to the hub. (Auto detection function)
For connection to the hub without the auto detection function, set half-duplex mode on the hub side.
1) Connection using 100BASE-TX
Use devices that satisfy the standards of IEEE802.3 and 100BASE-TX.
• Shielded twisted pair cable (STP cable), category 5 or better
Use a straight cable for connection between a hub and the Ethernet adapter.
(A cross cable can also be used when connecting the Ethernet adapter directly to the external device,
not through a hub.)
• RJ45 plug
• 100Mbps hub
2) Connection using 10BASE-T
Use devices that satisfy the standards of IEEE802.3 and 10BASE-T.
Use devices that satisfy the standards of IEEE802.3 and 100BASE-TX.
• Shielded twisted pair cable (STP cable), category 3 or better
Use a straight cable for connection between a hub and the Ethernet adapter.
(A cross cable can also be used when connecting the Ethernet adapter directly to the external device,
not through the hub.)
• RJ45 plug
• 10Mbps hub
