Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
The CP-RIO6-001 and the CP-RIO6-001-HD provide a Gigabit Ethernet interface implemented
as one dual, RJ-45 Ethernet connector J8A/B.
The CP-RIO6-001-DD-216 and CP-RIO6-001-HD-216 are populated with an Ethernet
connector, J8A/B, but the Ethernet interface is isolated on the CompactPCI connector rJ3. Flat
dummy plugs are fitted to these connectors as protective caps to prevent their unintentional
use.
Ethernet LED Status
ACT (green):
This LED monitors network connection and activity. When this LED is lit, it means
that a link has been established. The LED blinks when network packets are sent or received
through the RJ-45 port. When this LED is not lit, there is no link established.
LINK (green):
This LED lights up to indicate a successful 100Base-TX connection. When not
lit and the ACT-LED is active, the connection is operating at 1000Base-T or 10Base-T.
Note ...
The Ethernet transmission can operate effectively with structured cable that
meets CAT5 cable or higher specifications.
