Connect Your FP-1600 to the Network
Connect the FP-1600 to an Ethernet network using the RJ-45 Ethernet port
on the FP-1600. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the FP-1600 to an
Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can also
connect an FP-1600 directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover
cable.
Note
Do not use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using a 100 Mbps Ethernet,
National Instruments recommends using a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet
cable.
