Communicating with Devices on an Ethernet
Network
This appendix:
• describes SLC 5/05 processors and Ethernet communication.
• describes SLC 5/05 performance considerations.
• describes Ethernet network connections and media.
• explains how the SLC 5/05 establishes node connections.
• lists Ethernet configuration parameters and procedures.
• describes configuration for subnet masks and gateways.
SLC 5/05 Processors and
Ethernet Communication
Ethernet is a local area network that provides communication
between various devices at 10/100 Mbps. The physical communication
media options for the SLC 5/05 are:
• built-in.
– twisted-pair (10/100Base-T)
• with media converters or hubs.
– fiber optic
– broadband
– thick-wire coaxial cable (10Base-5)
– thin-wire coaxial cable (10Base-2)
See the following page for more information on Ethernet physical
media.
The SLC 5/05 processor supports Ethernet communication via the
Ethernet communication channel 1 shown in the drawing page 238.
