This section describes Ethernet links, connector wiring, mounting
methods, and board installation. Topics in this section includes:
Ethernet Link
•
Mounting the SMX
•
Installing New Boards
•
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the SMX can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection allows for SIS control using a
computer connected to the same LAN. Ethernet cables must be of the
correct type, properly terminated relevant to the application, and with
the correct pinout.
Use Category (CAT) 3, 4, 5, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
Ethernet cables are limited to 328 feet (100 m). Half-duplex and
full-duplex Ethernet connections are allowed. The cable used depends
on the network speed:
10 Mbps (10Base-T Ethernet) requires, at a minimum, CAT 3 UTP or
•
STP cable.
100 Mbps (100Base-T fast Ethernet) requires, at a minimum, CAT 5
•
UTP or STP cable.
Terminate as either a patch or a crossover cable (see
Crossover cable — Connection between the computer and the SMX.
•
Patch (Straight) Cable — Connection of the SMX to an Ethernet LAN.
•
Straight-through Cable
