Connecting Data Transmission Cables

This section describes how to connect the W315/325/345 embedded computers to the network, serial devices, and a serial COM terminal.

Connecting to the Network

Plug your network cable into the embedded computer’s Ethernet port. The other end of the cable should be plugged into your Ethernet network. When the cable is properly connected, the LEDs on the embedded computer’s Ethernet port will glow to indicate a valid connection.

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN port uses 8-pin RJ45 connectors. The following diagram shows the pinouts for these ports.
