LAN and Com Bus Connections
The LAN (NIC) connections use a standard 10/100BaseT twisted pair cable
with RJ-45 connectors (Cat 5E Enhanced is recommended). Shielded cable
is also recommended, maximum length 60 meters.

The maximum length
for a non-shielded cable is 100 meters.
LAN Monitoring Only (Jupiter Control)
In this arrangement, the router is under Jupiter control. The only purpose
of the connection is LAN monitoring using Broadlinx web pages or SNMP.
See
Figure 58 .
Figure 58. LAN Connections for LAN Monitoring Only (Jupiter Control)
Another Ethernet cable must be connected from the NIC B jack to the
network switch if you plan to use a secondary Broadlinx board.
If the Trinix LAN is connected to the Internet, the connection should be
made through a firewall.
Note Do not use Broadlinx with either the Dynex DX-ESW8, 10/100M Fast Ethernet
Switch or the Zonet Model ZFS3124.

Compliance with EEC, EMC, EN series, UL- 1950, and CSA C22.2 No. 950-M89 standards requires use of a shielded cable.
