15.5 Setup of an Individual Ethernet LAN
If no connection to an existing Ethernet network is used, you will find a couple of helpful remarks in the following paragraph.
Private email server:For using the email functions in such a "mini-network", an Email-Server has to be installed on the (or on one of the) computer. For example, on the Panasonic Ethernet exhibition board the Email-Server "1st Class Mail Server 2.0" by "1cis.com" was used successfully. For further information, refer to Details on the Email-Server (see page 64).
Following two different Ethernet cables are used:1.Direct 1:1 connection:
In the following example, only one computer should be used for carrying out the configuration of one or several FP Web-Servers:
If only one computer (with Ethernet card) should be connected with one FP Web-Server pier-to-pier, a crossover-cable can be used between the computer and the FP Web-Server. Please use the following pin allocation for setting up a cable for connecting two Ethernet network interfaces (hubs, cascading, FP Web-Server to computer, etc.):
-Ethernet (10-Base-T / 100-Base-Tx) use Standard Ethernet CAT.5 Crossover Cable:
Ethernet 10-Base-T / 100-Base-Tx
Crossover Cable
RJ45 #1 Pin | RJ45 #2 Pin | |
1TX_D1+ | 3RX_D2+ | |

2TX_D1- | 6RX_D2- | |

3RX_D2+ | 1TX_D1+ | |

6RX_D2- | 2TX_D1- | |
2.Standard network connection:
If more than one FP Web-Server should be connected with one (or several) computer, a hub or switch has to be used as a star coupler. A standard Ethernet 10BaseT hub can be used as a star coupler. When using a hub, you can use standard Ethernet twisted pair cables along with it.
