Ethernet cable connection

The DocuColor supports Ethernet cabling of three types:

•Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 2)

Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connec- tor on the Ethernet interface of the DocuColor.

•Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 5)

Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the DocuColor.

•Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), defined as Category 5 (10BaseT or 100BaseT) Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the DocuColor.

NOTE: The DocuColor 100BaseT option is of type 100BaseTX, also known as Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. Only Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling can be used with 100BaseTX. The term “100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.
