2.2.2 Network Connection
There are two ways to use the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connec- tor located on the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 :
1.For Local Area Network (LAN) applications using the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504, you will simply plug one end of your Ethernetcable into the 10/100Base-T con- nector, and the other end into the hub connected to your net- work.
2.When installing and configuring, you will find it convenient
to hook the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 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 ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 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 ADAM-4570/ ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is up to 100 meters (ca. 300 ft).
