Chapter 2 Installation and Start-up: RX3i Embedded
Interface
The RX3i CPUs with CPExxx designation (CPE305, CPE310, CPE330 and CPE400)provide an embedded Ethernet
interface for programmer communications. This chapter describes user features and provides basic installation
and startup procedures for this interface.
▪
Ethernet Interface Controls and Indicators
▪
Module Installation
▪
Connection to a 10Base T/100Base Tx Network (all CPExxx) or to a 1000Base T (CPE330 and CPE400
only)
▪
Pinging TCP/IP Ethernet Interfaces on the Network
Note: CPE330 Release 8.60 provides support for EGD Class 1. PME 8.60 SIM5 is required to
support EGD on both LAN1 and LAN2. All CPE400 releases support this feature.
Note: Effective with RX3i CPE310/CPE305 Firmware Release 8.30, the CPU itself also supports
EGD

Class 1. Prior to that firmware release, EGD was only available in the RX3i via the
RX3i Ethernet Interface module (ETM001).
Note: For features, installation and startup of the RX3i rack-based Ethernet module (ETM001),
see Chapter 3.

RX3i Embedded Ethernet Interface Indicators
The Ethernet port has two LED indicators, 100 and LINK . The 100 LED indicates the network data speed (10 or
100 Mb/sec). This LED is lit if the network connection at that network port is 100 Mbps.
The
LINK LED indicates the network link status and activity. This LED is lit when the link is physically connected.
It blinks when traffic is detected at that network port.
