Page 27: Lan (Ethernet/Rj-45 Port): Connections And Wiring
Connections and Wiring LAN (Ethernet/RJ-45 Port): Connections and Wiring NOTE: NI-x100 Controllers feature an Auto MDI/MDI-X LAN port. This provides the option of using either a standard (straight through), or a crossover LAN cable to communicate with a PC - both cable types will work. The following table lists the pinouts, signals, and pairing for the LAN connector. - Page 28 Connections and Wiring LAN Port Descriptions (Cont.) Port type Description Standard Port # ICSP Peer-to-peer protocol used for both Master-to-Master and Master-to-device communications. 1319 (UDP/TCP) For maximum flexibility, the Master can be configured to utilize a different port than 1319, or disable ICSP over LAN completely from either Telnet or the Program Port located on the rear of the Master itself.
