Communication Connections
EDS-308 models have 6, 7, or 8 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports, and 2, 1, or 0 (zero) 100BaseFX
(SC-type connector) fiber ports. EDS-305 models have 4 or 5 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports, and
1 or 0 (zero) 100 BaseFX (SC-type connector) fiber ports.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on EDS’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled
devices.
Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports, and
also show cable wiring diagrams for straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
