Ethernet link

The RCP 2000 can also communicate with the ISS 506 via an Ethernet link, using the RJ-45 connectors on the RCP and the ISS. The RJ-45 connector is illustrated at right. The RCP 2000 can be connected to the ISS either directly, or indirectly through a LAN.

When connecting the RCP 2000

directly (no intermediate device present, such as a network hub) to the ISS 506, you must use a crossover cable. See the table

below for RJ-45 crossover cable connections (T568A and T568B are the wiring standards).

When connecting the RCP 2000 indirectly (through an intermediate device, such as a network hub) to the ISS 506, you must use a patch (straight-through) cable. See the table below for RJ-45 patch cable connections (T568B is the wiring standard).
