Chapter 1 Introducing the Content Engine

Hardware Features

Ethernet Port

The Content Engine comes with one integrated dual-port Ethernet controller. This controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or

1000-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet LAN.

To access the Ethernet port, connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the device.

Note The 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX Ethernet standard requires that the cabling in the network be Category 5 or higher.
