Chapter 1. Overview
Ethernet Port Connections
Figure 2: CEP001 Underside View
The two external Ethernet ports are on the bottom of the module. Each port on an RX3i CEP Carrier operates
independently, so devices that operate at different speeds and/or duplex modes can be attached to the ports.
By default, all ports are set for Automatic, which enables auto-negotiation for the widest range of options
supported by the port.
Connections to the RX3i CEP Carrier can be made using standard Cat 5/5e/6 shielded twisted pair Ethernet
cables. Each of the ports can be used to connect to different devices on the same network. The PROFINET
protocol can be sent and received over either or both of the two external ports.
