Connecting To Ethernet; Mbps Connection; Connecting The Rs232 Serial Cable - Minicom Smart CAT5 Switch 16 IP Installation Manual

15. Connecting to Ethernet

The Ethernet connector on the Smart 16 IP can be used either for a 100 Mbps
100BASE-TX connection or for a 10 Mbps 10BASE-T connection. The adapter
adjusts to the appropriate operation mode automatically.

16. 10 Mbps Connection

For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5
UTP/FTP cable. To establish a 10 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to
a 10BASE-T hub. Ensure the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T
adapter. Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it
into the adapter's connector.
17. 100 Mbps Connection
For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the Smart 16 IP supports Category 5
UTP cabling. To establish a 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a
100BASE-TX hub.
1. Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX
adapter.
2. Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into
the adapter's connector.
Note! The UTP/FTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX cable are
identical to those for 10BASE-T cable when used with Category 5 UTP/FTP cable.

18. Connecting the RS232 Serial cable

To operate the Smart 16 IP system with the Control software located on the
Marketing & Documentation CD, connect the RS232 Serial cable.
To connect the RS232 Serial cable:
1. Connect the cable's RJ11 connector to the Smart 16 IP's Service port. See
Appendix A for the Service Connector Pin-out.
2. Connect the cable's DB9F connector to the computer's Serial port.
The figure below illustrates the connections.
