Connections to the Ethernet
Network
The SLC 5/05 Ethernet connector conforms to ISO/IEC 8802-3 STD
802.3 and utilizes 10/100Base-T media. Connections are made directly
from the SLC 5/05 to an Ethernet hub. The network setup is simple
and cost effective. Typical network topology is pictured below.

connector which connects to standard Ethernet hubs via 8-wire
twisted-pair straight-through cable. To access other Ethernet
mediums, use 10/100Base-T media converters or Ethernet hubs
that can be connected together via fiber, thin-wire, or thick-wire
coaxial cables, or any other physical media commercially
available with Ethernet hubs.
