3.2.3 Connecting to a Modem or TA
Communication devices with a V.24 port are connected to the FastTrace-R using the modem
cable supplied with the modem or terminal adaptor. Either Comms 1 or Comms 2 may be used
and the FastTrace-R can be set up with two communications devices, allowing simultaneous
connections and / or a back-up communications path.

3.2.4 Network (Ethernet) Connection
FastTrace-R has a built in Ethernet connection port to allow communications via a conventional
'computer' network.
• NETWORK - (RJ-45 - Female) - Ethernet 10/100baseT
Caution: To ensure correct network connectivity, please ensure FastTrace-R is connected to
the network before being powered on. This enables the FastTrace-R unit to detect
the correct network speed (10BaseT or 100BaseT).
The physical connection is a half-duplex, 10/100Base-T (100Mb) port, although the maximum
throughput of the FastTrace-R is around 5Mb/sec.
FastTrace-R is designed for use via a Cat5 cable infrastructure. The Cat5 standards define
cabling specifications and physical presentations. In short, Cat5 defines the use of 4 pairs (8
wires) presented on an RJ45 connection. Cat 5 cable must be used for operation on a 100baseT
wiring system. The physical connections are:
