Ethernet Connector
The ESERV-10 contains an RJ45 connector for 10 Mbps Ethernet connection. ESERV-10 can be
connected with a direct Ethernet cable to a local network’s hub or switch. Maximum distance
between the board and the hub/switch is 100m. ESERV-10 can be connected directly to a PC
network interface card with a cross-connected Ethernet cable for testing.
Note:
The cross-connected cable is only for connecting the ESERV-10 to the PC’s network
interface card. When connecting to a local network a direct Ethernet cable must be used.
