Standard RJ-45 (Ethernet) interface connection

The Series 3700 uses a standard Ethernet connection configuration. It is designed for a
10/100BaseTX network using standard RJ-45 connectors. This is an eight wire connector, but
only two sets of wire pairs are used: one pair to transmit and one pair to receive data. A
10BaseT network can accommodate transmission speeds up to 10Mbit per second where a
100BaseTX network operates at speeds of up to 100Mbit per second. Both types of networks
usually require Ethernet hubs to make connections. The exception is a one-to-one connection
using a crossover cable, which may be a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX dependent on the computer's
Ethernet interface card and which category of cable is used (the Series 3700 can be directly
connected to a computer's NIC card using an Ethernet crossover cable). Refer to
