Connecting network cable to the E-820
Ethernet connection
For Ethernet connections, the E-820 supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling,
defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT; or as Category 3, Category 4, or
Category 5 for use with 10BaseT. The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs
into the RJ-45 socket on the E-820.

:
The 100BaseT type supported by the E-820 is 100BaseTX, also known as
Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term
“100BaseT” is used to refer to 100BaseTX.

For 100BaseT, you must use a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable
network cable.
Token Ring connection
For Token Ring connections, the E-820 supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
cabling with an RJ-45 connector and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) with a DB-9
connector.
If the Token Ring option is installed, you cannot enable both Ethernet and Token Ring
simultaneously. For more information, see
