both 10 Mbps (10Base-T - Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T - Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections. Input and output boards support
100Base-T only.
•
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
•
The TP cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must
be properly terminated for your application.
