Features of the Ethernet interface
This section describes the Model 2701 Ethernet interface control. The Model 2701’s adapter
supports 10BaseT and 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet. Through design, the Model 2701 integrates
easily with fast Ethernet hubs and switches.
NOTE To operate at 10 Mbits/sec, a category 3 (or higher) UTP cable is required. To
operate at 100 Mbits/sec, a category 5 UTP cable is required.
Autosensing
The Model 2701 autosenses the Ethernet connection speed (either 10BaseT or 100BaseTX).
This allows the Model 2701 to auto-switch to the proper speed providing compatibility with
both network speeds.
Connector location
Figure 1-1 contains the location of the Model 2701 network port (RJ-45 connector). This
connector is used to provide either 10BaseT or 100BaseTX connections to an Ethernet.
