Interfaces and Connectible Terminals
5.5
LAN Port
The LAN port (Ethernet interface) on the MC+1-3 central control module allows
the integration of the OpenCom 510 into a company LAN (Local Area Network)
with the use of a 10-Mbit hub or switch. In such a configuration, the OpenCom 510
can, for example, act as an IP router for establishing Internet connections.
The Ethernet interface supports transmission rates of 10 Mbits/s and 100 Mbits/s
in half duplex or full duplex mode. The transmission rate and mode are selected
automatically (Auto Sensing function).
A LAN cable (twisted-pair in accordance with 10BaseT or 100BaseTX) must not be
longer than 100 m. Safe operation with 100 Mbits/s requires the use of category 5
cables and sockets. Use a shielded Ethernet cable (STP cable, Shielded Twisted Pair
cable).
5.5.1 DSL Port
External DSL modems can be connected via the LAN port. This requires the use of
an external switch or hub which connects the output of the DSL modem (NTBBA)
to the LAN port of the OpenCom 510. The router will then convert the PPPoE pro-
tocol to the TCP/IP protocol of the LAN.
The DSL modem is connected by means of a crossed twisted-pair cable. Alterna-
tively, you can use a switchable port on the hub, which is usually marked with an
"X".
