Ethernet Port

The TS Adapter IE has an Ethernet port with an 8-pin RJ45 socket. To that socket you
connect an Industrial Ethernet cable. The cable is not supplied with the TS Adapter IE.
You can use a standard Ethernet cable or a crossover cable with crossed wires. The
TS Adapter IE supports automatic switching between the two cable variants.
The cable must be fitted with 8-pin RJ45 connectors conforming to ISO/IEC 8877:1992. This
connector type is recommended in accordance with IEEE 802.3 for 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX.
For detailed information on the RJ45 connector refer to
