CHAPTER 5 CONFIGURATION OF THE ETHERNET INTERFACE

The PR2000 has one Ethernet 10Base-T interface, provided in a standard RJ-45 modular jack, which should be connected to an Ethernet hub or switch. Use a standard 10Base-T straight-through cable (not included). When the Ethernet link is correctly connected, the link LED will be lit. The menus for the Ethernet Interface are independent of the speed of the link.

If your network uses 10Base2 (thin coaxial cable) or 10Base5 (thick coaxial cable), you will need a transceiver to convert between the different Ethernet media. A crossover cable is required for direct connection to a computer (an RJ-45 Ethernet pinout is provided in appendix B). Note: While Cyclades Power Routers work with most standard RJ-45 cable/connectors, shielded Ethernet cables should be used to avoid interference with other equipment .

The parameters in the encapsulation menu are preset at the factory and it is usually not necessary to change them. The first step in the Ethernet configuration is to choose which network protocol to use and assign values to the relevant parameters. Either IP, Transparent Bridge, or IPX (optional) must be activated. In this chapter, IP Bridges are also described. Use the information provided below to set the parameters for the Ethernet interface.

The IP Network Protocol

Some parameters are explained in detail in later chapters. At this point, the preset values provided by the operating system can be accepted and the interface will work at a basic level.
