Connecting to Ethernet

The Ethernet connector on the MX IP can be used either for a 100 Mbps

100BASE-TX connection or for a 10 Mbps 10BASE-T connection. The adapter

adjusts to the appropriate operation mode automatically.

10 Mbps Connection

For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4,

or 5 cable. To establish a 10 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a

10BASE-T hub. Ensure the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T

adapter. Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert

it into the adapter's connector.

100 Mbps Connection

For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the MX IP supports Category 5

cabling. To establish a 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a

100BASE-TX hub.

1. Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX

adapter.

2. Align the RJ-45 plug with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into

the adapter's connector.

Note! The UTP/FTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX cable are

identical to those for 10BASE-T cable when used with Category 5 UTP/FTP

cable.
