    (i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded. In some cases, N-Tron switches with metal brackets can be supplied with optional plastic brackets if isolation is required.

  • Page 14: Rj45 Connector Crimp Specifications

    Note: For units which have the N-View Option (-N), you can validate that all ports are working correctly by installing the N-View OPC Server software. The software is freely distributed on the ProductCD and our website (http://www.n-tron.com/pdf/nview_opc_manual.pdf ). Once the software is installed, you should view the Ports Counter page to remotely monitor each connected port.

    (We have seen a case where the wiring was cat3 and the devices autonegotiated to 100/full, but the wiring would not support it.) On the 308FX2, 309, 316, or 317, one can autonegotiate, or one can force to any of 4 modes: 100 full, 100 half, 10 full, or 10 half.
  • Page 24 basically functional but not ideal. The unit at 10 full transmits without checking for busy and you get more collisions. Also, the 10/full unit does not back off or retransmit based on the collision domain. The same problem happens with one unit forced to 100/full and the other autonegotiating. The autonegotiating unit goes into 100/half.
