17.6 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). The 
TNC also supports the NFS V3 protocol, which permits higher data 
transfer rates
Connection possibilities
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.

10BaseT / 100BaseTx
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). 
If you connect the TNC directly with a PC, you must use a 
crossed cable.
