Ethernet Ports
The PC Server 315-8638, 325-8639 and 330-8640 has Ethernet connectors for 10Base-T
or Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) devices. The
controller automatically detects which port is connected to the
network, and then uses that port for communication.
- If the server is shipped with an Ethernet interface cable,
it must be installed to comply with FCC requirements.
- The cables used in a 10BASE-T link segment do not require
grounding. However, all of the devices connected to the cables
must be grounded.
To connect the 10Base-T port to a 10Base-T port on a repeater,
use an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors
at both ends. Use a straight-through UTP cable when connecting
to a crossover port (also called MDI-X port), and use crossover
cables to connect
to a repeater that is not a crossover port (also known as a MDI port).
To connect the AUI port to a 10Base-5, 10Base-2, or 10Base-F
segment, use an AUI cable.
