2.3 IC695CEP001 Ports

Ethernet Network Ports

The two external RJ-45 Ethernet ports are on the underside of the CEP Carrier.
The RJ-45 ports provide 10/100 Mbps copper interfaces. These ports support CAT5/5e/6 Shielded Twist-pair
cabling of up to 100m. Each Ethernet port automatically senses the type of network and adjusts speed and
connection parameters. The PROFINET protocol can be sent and received over any or both of the two external
ports.
Devices connected to the RX3i CEP ports should have Ethernet Auto-negotiation enabled. The RX3i CEP
Carriers and other participating devices can be connected in a daisy chain/line, or star topology.
Do not connect both ports on the Ethernet interface, directly or indirectly, to the
same device so as to form a circular network unless Media Redundancy is enabled
with one node actively set up as the Media Redundancy Manager.
