Ethernet.
Notes regarding LAN cables for use with NEC Storage Manager and the maintenance PC
•
Use a straight-through Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, if the controller and PC are connected
through a hub.
•
Use a crossover STP cable, if the controller and PC are connected directly.
Connecting the Ethernet cable to the controller is just the first step in using NEC
Storage Manager software across an Ethernet. Contact your service engineer or an
NEC trained service representative If you need assistance in configuring your
storage array.
