Connecting a VTC Controller to an
Ethernet LAN
An Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 local area network (LAN) can incorporate several devices
that communicate over a common system of cables and transceivers. This section
describes how to connect the drop cable between your VTC controller board and its
transceiver on a LAN.
NOTE: For information on setting up the cables and transceivers on your LAN,
refer to Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Local Area Network Installation Guide.
Figure 4–20 shows the location of the DB15 local area network connector on an
