2. Ethernet Connections
If you do not have access to an Ethernet network, use a crossover CAT 5/6 Ethernet cable
to connect the BL4S100 to a PC that at least has a 10Base-T Ethernet card.
If you have Ethernet access, use a straight-through CAT 5/6 Ethernet cable to establish an
Ethernet connection to the BL4S100 from an Ethernet hub. These connections are shown in
Figure 17.
