2.2.2 Network Connection
There are two ways to use the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connec-
tor located on the EDG Series:
1. For Local Area Network (LAN) applications using the
EDG Series, you will simply plug one end of your Ethernetcable
into the 10/100Base-T connector, and the other end into the
hub connected to your network.
2. When installing and configuring, you will find it convenient
to hook the EDG Series directly to your computer's Ethernet
card. To do this you will need to use a "crossed-cable", such
as the one supplied with your server.
Cabling requirements for the Ethernet side
Use an RJ-45 connector to connect the Ethernet port of the
EDG Series to the network hub. The cable for connection
should be Category 3 (for 10Mbps data rate) or Category 5
(for 100 Mbps data rate) UTP/STP cable, which is compliant
with EIA/TIA 586 specifications. Maximum length between
the hub and any EDG Series is up to 100 meters (ca. 300 ft).
2.2.3 Power Connection
You should take the following steps to connect EDG Series power.
