Connecting a VLCi 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 VLCi controller board and its
transceiver on the 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 4–35 shows the location of the DB15 local area network connector on an
installed VLCi board.

than the captive screws found on many device connectors. The female connector on
the VLCi option board includes a slide clip.
