e LAN (IP) connector and LEDs — To connect the IPCP to an Ethernet network (so
you can configure and control the IPCP and the devices connected to it), plug a cable
into this RJ-45 socket and connect the other end of the cable to a network switch, hub,
router, or PC connected to a LAN or the Internet.
Cabling:
• For 10Base-T (10 Mbps) networks, use a CAT 3 or better cable.
• For 100Base-T (max. 155 Mbps) networks, use a CAT 5 cable.
You must configure this port before using it. Configure the settings for this port via either
SIS commands or Global Configurator. See the programming sections (Software-
based Configuration and Control starting on page 18 and SIS Programming
and Control starting on page 50) of this guide for details on configuration.
Activity LED — This yellow LED blinks to indicate network activity.
Link LED — This green LED lights to indicate a good network connection.
