Connecting to the network

Use the following procedure to connect the E-85 to the customer network.
To connect to the network
1 Shut down the E-85 before connecting it to any network device (see
2 Obtain the appropriate straight-through Ethernet cable for the customer network connection:
• For 10BaseT link speed, use a cable that is Category 3 or higher.
• For 100BaseTX, use Category 5 or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length).
For 1000BaseT, use Category 5e or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length).
•
Note: Be sure to use a straight-through Ethernet cable for the network connection. To verify the cable type, align the
connectors on each end of the cable, as shown in
identical on both ends; on a crossover cable, the wire arrangements are different.

2 Crossover cable:
wire arrangements are different (The wire arrangement shown here is an example;
actual arrangements may vary.)
Note: Align cable connectors side by side and examine wires
3 Connect one end of the network cable to the network connector on the back of the E-85 (see
The motherboard in the E-85 has an external Ethernet network connector that supports 10/100/1000 Mbps link speed.
4 Connect the other end of the cable to the customer network.
