port — If desired, for IP control of the system, connect the matrix switcher

LED	to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN, via this RJ-45 connector. You can use
	a PC to control the networked switcher with SIS commands from
LED	anywhere in the world. You can also control the switcher from a PC that
	is either running the Extron Windows-based control program or that has
	downloaded HTML pages from the switcher.

Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet connection. The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily. The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 330 feet (100 m).

NOTES:

•Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

•Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.

•10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.

•100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 24).

•Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the matrix switcher

•Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the matrix switcher to an Ethernet LAN.

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cable that is wired the same at both ends is called a "straight-through" cable, because no pin/pair assignments are swapped.
