15.9 Ethernet interface
Introduction
The TNC is shipped with a standard Ethernet card to connect the
control as a client in your network. The TNC transmits data via the
Ethernet card with
the
smb protocol (Server Message Block) for Windows
operating systems, or
the TCP/IP protocol family (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol) and with support from the NFS (Network File
System)
Connection options
You can connect the Ethernet card in your TNC to your network
through the RJ45 connection (X26, 100BaseTX or 10BaseT), or
directly to a PC. The connection is metallically isolated from the
control electronics.
For a 100BaseTX or 10BaseT connection you need a Twisted Pair
cable to connect the TNC to your network.
The maximum cable length between TNC and a
node depends on the quality grade of the cable, the
sheathing and the type of network (100BaseTX or
10BaseT).
No great effort is required to connect the TNC
directly to a PC that has an Ethernet card. Simply
connect the TNC (port X26) and the PC with an
Ethernet crossover cable (trade names: crossed
patch cable or STP cable).
