LED Indicators
There is one LED indicator on the rear bracket for tracking network
operation and diagnosing problems with the network cable.
GREEN (Link)
10Base-T cabling only.
The LED remains on when cable link integrity is good.
Refer to the figure below for LED placement:
Thin coaxial cable uses the BNC port on the rear bracket. To make the connection, follow the steps described below and illustrated as Figure A:
Step 1 Make sure the power to your computer is off to avoid damage to both the computer and the network interface card.
Step 2 Connect the T-connector onto the BNC port on the card, then connect one end of the T-connector to the network cable. If the station is being added to the middle of the network trunk cable, connect the other end of the T-connector to the remainder of the trunk cable. If the station is being added to the end of the trunk cable, connect a 50-ohm terminator to the free end of the T-connector.
Max. Segment Length: 185 meters
Max. Number of Nodes per Segment: 30
Max. Network Cable Length: 925meters
Min. Distance Between Two Network Cards:
0.5 meter
Twisted-Pair cable is used in conjunction with the RJ-45 modular plug on the rear bracket. To make the connection, perform the two steps described as follows and illustrated as Figure A:
Step 1 Make sure the power to your computer is off to avoid damage to
both the computer and the
network interface
card.
Step 2 Using the RJ-45 plug and twisted-pair cable, connect the network
interface card to a 10BASE-T
hub (concentrator). Note that the maximum cable length between a 10BASE-T
hub and any
computer is
100 meters.
Max. Nodes per Concentrator: Depends
on Concentrator
Max. Cable Length to Concentrator: 100
meters
