Connecting to the Network

Ethernet cable connection

The DocuColor supports Ethernet cabling of three types:

• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 2)

Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connec-
tor on the Ethernet interface of the DocuColor.

• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 5)

Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the DocuColor.

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), defined as Category 5 (10BaseT or 100BaseT)

Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the DocuColor.

N

OTE

:

The DocuColor 100BaseT option is of type 100BaseTX, also known as Fast 

Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. Only Category 5 
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling can be used with 100BaseTX. The term 
“100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.
