RJ-45 Ethernet Ports
The cRIO controller has two tri-speed RJ-45 Ethernet ports, shown in Figure 1.
Refer to Figure 19 for Ethernet pin locations and signal descriptions. The Ethernet signal names
are listed as Fast Ethernet signal name, RX/TX +/-, and then Gigabit Ethernet signal name,
(RX/TX_x+/-).
Figure 19. Ethernet Port Pin Locations: Fast Ethernet Signals (Gigabit Ethernet Signals)
Note Both Ethernet ports perform automatic crossover configuration so you do not
need to use a crossover cable to connect to a host computer.
Both Ethernet ports are enabled and configured to obtain an IP address automatically by default.
The Ethernet ports can be configured in MAX.
Ethernet LEDs
Each Ethernet port has two LEDs—ACT/LINK and 10/100/1000—described in Table 5.
