Cable installation

This section describes installing the network interface cables.

Connecting the Ethernet ports

The T-DAC has a single 10/100 Ethernet interface for connection to your LAN (figure 5). The Ethernet port will
autosense the correct speed of the local LAN and automatically negotiate half or full-duplex operation. This sec-
tion describes connecting the T-DAC to the Ethernet LAN via an Ethernet hub, switch, or workstation.

Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet switch or hub

The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port (see figure 5) is designed to connect to an Ethernet switch or hub. The
Ethernet RJ-45 pin and signal definitions for the T-DAC or for a NIC card in a workstation/PC are shown
in figure 6 on page 23. Connect a straight-through CAT-5 cable (one wired as shown in figure 6) between
the T-DAC and the hub/switch.
