3.3.4. Connecting the External Reset/Power Option
Please refer to the manual of the Peppercon external power switch option or a third party external
power option to connect those external devices either to the Peppercon Reset/Power Connector or
to the serial interface on the rear side of LARA.
3.3.5. Connecting Ethernet
The rear side of LARA provides a RJ-45 connector for Ethernet. The connector is used either for
a 100 Mbps 100BASE-TX connection or for a 10 Mbps 10BASE-T connection. The adapter can
sense the connection speed and will adjust to the appropriate operation mode automatically.
