Connecting the XConnect II, XConnect 100, XConnect II Lite-T, Pony 100, or Pony Print Server Plus to an Unshielded Twisted Pair Network

To connect an XConnect II, Pony 100, XConnect 100, or XConnect II Lite-T to a 10baseT unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet network, you will need an unshielded twisted pair Ethernet hub with at least one unused port installed on your network, plus an appropriate length of RJ45 modular cable.

To connect a Pony 100 or XConnect 100 to a 100baseTX Fast Ethernet network, you will need a 100baseTX Fast Ethernet hub with at least one unused port, plus an appropriate length of Category 5 RJ45 modular jack cable.

1.Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the print server connector labelled "10baseT" on the XConnect II or XConnect II Lite (not the one labelled "Serial"), or "100baseTX/10baseT" on the XConnect 100 or Pony 100 and the other end to a port on the twisted pair Ethernet hub as shown in figure 2-4. Note that the XConnect 100 automatically determines whether it is connected to a 10baseT or 100baseTX network.

Note: If you have an older XConnect II or XConnect II Lite with V3.22 or earlier firmware, make sure that switches 2 and 3 are in the OFF position (not required for newer print servers).

You have now completed the unshielded twisted pair Ethernet installation. Proceed to the Verifying Successful Hardware Installation section below to confirm that you have properly installed the print server.
