The GRP has one Ethernet port, which uses either of these port connectors:

•RJ-45 receptacle—An 8-pin media-dependent interface (MDI) RJ-45 receptacle for either an IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) or an IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) connection.

•MII receptacle—A 40-pin media independent interface (MII) receptacle that provides additional flexibility in Ethernet connections. This connector can also be used for either an IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) or an

IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) connection.
