Ethernet Link
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the SMX can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection allows for SIS control using a
computer connected to the same LAN. Ethernet cables must be of the
correct type, properly terminated relevant to the application, and with
the correct pinout.
Choosing a Network Cable
Use Category (CAT) 3, 4, 5, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
Ethernet cables are limited to 328 feet (100 m). Half-duplex and
full-duplex Ethernet connections are allowed. The cable used depends
on the network speed:
•
10 Mbps (10Base-T Ethernet) requires, at a minimum, CAT 3 UTP or
STP cable.
•
100 Mbps (100Base-T fast Ethernet) requires, at a minimum, CAT 5
UTP or STP cable.
Terminating the Network Cable
Terminate as either a patch or a crossover cable (see
•
Crossover cable — Connection between the computer and the SMX.
•
Patch (Straight) Cable — Connection of the SMX to an Ethernet LAN.
Straight-through Cable
