The DW7700 has two RJ-45, 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports as
shown in Figure 6. Each port has a green and a yellow LED. A
flashing green LED indicates a valid link between the DW7700
and Ethernet device; a dark LED indicates an invalid link. An
illuminated yellow LED indicates the port is operating in
100BaseT mode; a dark yellow LED indicates the port is
operating in 10BaseT mode.

The ports support a wide range of devices, including:
• PCs equipped with Network Interface Cards (NICs)
• DIRECWAY Serial Appliance, which can support up to four
serial devices
• Hubs
• Routers
• Switches
The Ethernet ports support the following configurations:
• Dual port, single subnet
Only one Ethernet port is configured with an IP address at the
NOC, which means the terminal supports one subnet and
functions as a hub.
• Dual port, independent subnet
Each Ethernet port is configured with a separate IP address at
the NOC, which means the terminal supports independent
subnets and functions as a router.
