Installation

Connect to a Network

The computers connect to an Ethernet network by using CAT5 or CAT5e
twisted-pair Ethernet cabling with RJ45 connectors.

IMPORTANT

To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet communication, do not
subject the computer or cables to extreme radiation or conducted
high-frequency noise.

Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required for reliable Ethernet
communication in industrial environments. We recommend that you route all
Ethernet cabling through dedicated metal conduits. Installing ferrite bead
filters at the cable ends can also improve reliability.
