Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Cable Requirements
 Computer Connection (NIC card) – an RJ-45 cable (either crossover or straight-through) is
required to connect the Epica DGX 32 enclosure directly to a network card in a computer.
 LAN Connection – an RJ-45 cable (either crossover or straight-through) is required to connect
the Epica DGX 32 enclosure to a LAN.
Note: The instructions on the following page are for connecting to a PC. If you are connecting the
system to a LAN, be sure the connection is active.
TCP/IP Port and Indicator LEDs
The TCP/IP port, which provides an NXB-AP-1000 Server connection, is located on the rear of the
enclosure on the right-hand side of the CPU (FIG. 23).
Important: The Enc Link connectors at the far left of the CPU are to be used only for linking
enclosures; do not attempt to use either of them for an NXB-AP-1000 Server connection.
The TCP/IP port is an Ethernet link connector, handling Ethernet 10/100 connections for 100 Mbps
(megabits per second) and 10 Mbps. (This connection is compatible with most Ethernet based LANs.)
The LED to the left of the TCP/IP port indicates an NXB-AP-1000 Server connection. When the
connection is active, this LED blinks green on and off at 5 second intervals.
The two small rectangular LEDs on the RJ-45 connector (FIG. 22) indicate the following:
 Amber L/A (Link/Activity) Status LED
On – Link status is active (when Ethernet cables are connected and terminated correctly)
 Green Speed Status LED
On – Speed status is 100 Mbps
Off – Speed status is 10 Mbps
