2.4.2 Connecting to the IP Network
The device's CPU module provides two 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports for connectivity to the
Ethernet network (IP network). The dual ports provide Ethernet redundancy.
¾ To connect the device to the IP/Ethernet network:
1. On the CPU module, connect the first Ethernet port (labeled I) directly to the Ethernet
network, using a straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
2. Optionally, for Ethernet redundancy, connect the second Ethernet port (labeled II) to
the Ethernet network.
The RJ-45 connector pinouts are shown in the figure below:
Figure 2-7: RJ-45 Connector Pinouts
Notes:
• For Ethernet redundancy, it's recommended to connect each of the
Ethernet ports to a different switch.
• When assigning an IP address to the device using HTTP (refer to
'Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP' on page 35), you may be required
to cable the Ethernet port differently.
