Network Port and Activity Indicator: A 10BaseT, RJ45

Ethernet port for connection to your TCP/IP network. To

communicate via network, you must first specify network

parameters as described in Section 5.6.
Note: The RPC-4840N features a 10BaseT interface.

When connecting the RPC to a 100BaseT interface, note

that most 100BaseT router switches will autosense to

determine if the device is 100BaseT or 10BaseT and then

configure the network interface accordingly. If your router

switch does not autosense, then the network interface port

must be manually set to 10BaseT.
