Connecting a New JACE Controller
A single, female 10/100-Mbit Ethernet connector is provided on each JACE, and
provides the connection point of the JACE to the Ethernet LAN. This connection is
capable of running at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and will automatically adjust to
the speed of the port on the hub into which it is plugged.
If for some reason you do not have access to a LAN you can also directly connect a
PC to the JACE using an Ethernet crossover cable. A crossover cable can be used to
connect two computers together without a hub, or to connect two hubs together (if
the hub does not have an uplink port).
