LED Indicators
==============
There is one LED indicator on the rear bracket for tracking network
operation and diagnosing problems with the network cable.
GREEN (Link)
10Base-T cabling only.
The LED remains on when cable link integrity is good.
Making Network Connections
==========================
* Twisted Pair Cable Connection
Twisted Pair cable is used in conjunction with the RJ-45 modular plug on
the rear bracket. To make the connection, perform the two steps described
as follows.
Step 1 Make sure the power to your computer is off to avoid damage to both
the computer and the network interface card.
Step 2 Using the RJ-45 plug and twisted pair cable, connect the network
interface card to a 10BASE-T hub (concentrator). Note that the
maximum cable length between a 10BASE-T hub and any computer is
100 meters.
Max. Nodes per Concentrator: Depends on Concentrator
Max. Cable Length to Concentrator: 100 meters
