14.Connecting to Ethernet
The Ethernet connector on the IP Extender can be used either for a 100 Mbps 100BASE-TX connection or for a 10 Mbps 10BASE-T connection. The adapter adjusts to the appropriate operation mode automatically.
15.10 Mbps Connection
For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/FTP cable. To establish a 10 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a 10BASE-T hub. Ensure the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T adapter. Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter's connector.
16.100 Mbps Connection
For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the IP Extender supports Category 5 UTP cabling. To establish a 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub.
1.Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX adapter.
2.Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter's connector.
Note! The UTP/FTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX cable are identical to those for 10BASE-T cable when used with Category 5 UTP/FTP cable.
17.Switching on
After connecting IP Extender to the computer, switch on IP Extender first and then the computer.
