Ethernet Ports
The cDAQ-9185/9189 chassis has two tri-speed RJ-45 Ethernet ports—Ethernet Port 1 and
Ethernet Port 2—as shown in Figure 1-1 or 1-2. You can use a shielded straight-through
Category 5 Ethernet or an Ethernet crossover cable with either of the Ethernet ports to network
your chassis to a computer host, NI Linux Real-Time controller, cDAQ chassis, or any network
connection on the same subnet. Refer to Chapter 2, Networking, for more information about
using these ports in various topologies.
Ethernet LEDs
The Ethernet port has two LEDs—10/100/1000 and LINK/ACT—described in Table 1-4.
