Ethernet Connection Requirements

The RISC Router 3500R’s Ethernet interface directly supports thick and 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. Switching between media types is auto- matic -- simply plug the proper Ethernet connector into its matching port. Other Ethernet cabling types (such as thin Ethernet, fiber optic cabling or pre-10BaseT twisted-pair) can be supported using adapters which connect to the thick Ethernet port.
