Every easyE4 base device features an Ethernet port.
This Ethernet port is a Cat 5 port.
Make sure to use compatible standard RJ45 Ethernet cables only.
The Ethernet port on the base device serves as a communication interface.
The Ethernet controllers support transfer rates of 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s.

If you integrate the EASY-E4-... into an Ethernet network, you
will need to connect the functional earth to the corresponding
terminal.
To commission the communications between the EASY-E4-... control relay and the
device to which the Ethernet cable is connected, follow the description for the con-
nected device.
New easyE4 base devices will come with the AUTO IP setting configured by default.
In order to configure the settings differently on the EASY-E4-...-12...C1(P), use the
menu structure and go to System Options\Ethernet → Section "Ethernet", page 625
