Connections

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Remove power from the system before making any connections.

ATTENTION: Use Electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded) when making connections. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment, although you may not feel, see, or hear it.

Ethernet Connection

When connecting a computer to the DXP Ethernet port, it is essential that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 m).

NOTES: • Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support

Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

•Do not stretch or bend the cables; this can cause transmission errors.

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end	A cable that is wired the same at both ends
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs	is called a "straight-through" cable because
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.	no pin or pair assignments are swapped.
	Both ends of the cable can be T568B (as shown)
	or T568A (not shown).

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 must be properly terminated for your application as either a crossover or a straight-through cable.

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

•Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the DXP to a network via a switch, router, or hub.
