“Ethernet” RJ45 Port and Indicators
The Ethernet port is an IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX compatible Fast Ethernet
interface. The Ethernet port accepts a standard RJ45 connector. The Ethernet port is present on
the eSynC-E and eSynC-2UE.
The Ethernet port only functions when the eSynC product is powered. The eSynC products have
a dedicated power input and are not intended to draw power from the tablet or mobile phone.
The Ethernet port has two status indicators labeled “USB Activity” and “Link/Activity’.
Figure 2:
RJ45 Status Indicators
The USB Activity is a yellow indicator. The USB Activity is solid yellow when the eSynC is
powered and connected to the device. The USB Activity flashes when there is traffic between the
device and an eSynC product.
The Link/Activity is a green indicator. The Link/Activity is solid green when the Ethernet Link
has been established. The Link/Activity flashes when there is network traffic through the
Ethernet interface. The Link/Activity indicator remains off when the device is not attached.
Both indicators remain off when power has not been applied.
The device setup and status for the Ethernet port are located in the Connections > More networks
> Ethernet menu. The Ethernet menu can only be entered when a powered Ethernet adapter is
present. The standard device options permit the use of static address assignments or dynamic
address assignments via DHCP. This menu reports if the Ethernet adapter is active and serves as
the adapter enable.
When using DHCP, the device attempts to fetch the addressing information from a DHCP server.
If the addressing information is not located within the timeout period, the device makes no
