Printer and E-36A cable connection
To connect to the network
1
Make sure that the E-36A is powered off.
2
Make sure that the network cable is connected to the customer site network.
3
Connect the network cable to the Upper RJ-45 network port on the back of the E-36A.
The E-36A provides twisted pair connectivity to an Ethernet network. When the network cable is connected, the
Ethernet interface automatically detects the speed of the network environment. Depending on your network speed,
the following unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cables are supported:
•
10BaseT: Category 3 or higher
•
100BaseTX: Category 5 or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
•
1000BaseT: Category 5e or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)

The straight-through network cable at the customer site and the crossover Ethernet cable included
with the E-36A look similar, but are not interchangeable. Make sure that you connect the network
cable at the customer site to the Upper RJ-45 port on the E-36A connector panel.
