The RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Port
The RJ-45 connector must be used with an RJ-45 male connector and a suitable
Category 5 or Category 6 data cable connected to a 10BaseT or 100BaseT
channel. The i.LON 100 server will automatically adjust to the speed of the data
port, and if a 100BaseT network connection is established illuminates the “100”
LED indicator on the front panel. The i.LON 100 server automatically detects
whether it is connected to an Ethernet hub or directly to a computer, so there is
no need to use a crossover Ethernet cable.
The DB-9 Console Port
The i.LON 100 server contains a console application that is accessed using a
terminal emulation program, such as Windows HyperTerminal, via the EIA-232
DB-9 console port. This application allows you to set basic parameters such as
the IP address, subnet mask, and FTP user name and password. The DB-9 is
designed to be used with a DB-9 null-modem crossover cable with female
connectors on both ends that connects the i.LON 100 server and an available
COM port on a computer running the terminal emulation program. The
connector pins on the DB-9 console are aligned as shown in the following figure:
The connector pins are described in the table below.
