Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and properly terminated
with the correct pinout.
Choosing a network cable
Ethernet links 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' (100 m).
The cable used depends on your network speed. The ISS supports both 10 Mbps
(10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and
full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

DVI output connector (optional) — If the optional DVI output
card is installed, connect a DVI/DFP-compatible video display to
this DVI connector. This connector outputs the program image
only. For a DFP-compatible display, connect the display through a
DVI-to-DFP adapter, part #26-497-01 (DVI [male] to DFP [female]
adapter) or 26-498-01 (DVI [female] to DFP [male] adapter).
The DVI output's horizontal resolution is limited to either 1024 or
1280 pixels. The vertical resolution is the selected vertical
resolution.
For output rates with horizontal resolutions of 1024 or below, the
ISS DVI output is 1024 x {selected vertical rate}. For example, if the output
resolution is set to 640 x 480, then the DVI output resolution is 1024 × 480.
For output rates with horizontal resolutions of 1280 or above, the ISS DVI
output is 1280 x {selected vertical rate}.
Ethernet port — If desired connect the switcher to an Ethernet LAN or WAN
via this RJ-45 connector. Ethernet control allows the operator to control the
switcher from a remote location. When connected to an Ethernet LAN or
WAN, the switcher can be accessed and operated from a computer running a
standard Internet browser.
Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status
of the Ethernet connection.
The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an
Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily.
The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45
connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
10Base-T Ethernet requires at a minimum CAT 3 UTP or STP cable.
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires at a minimum CAT 5 UTP or STP cable.
