TX/RX network link
ALIF units can be either connected directly to each other or via a Gigabit Ethernet network.
For direct links via Ethernet cable, the length of cable should not exceed 100 metres (328
feet). Network cables used for connections may be category 5, 5e, 6 or 7 twisted-pair cable.
ALIF TX units have an autosensing capability on their network interfaces, so for direct point-
to-point connections, no ‘crossover’ Ethernet cable is required.
To link ALIF units using the System port
1 Connect a CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable to the System port socket on the front panel of the
ALIF unit.

CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 link either
directly from the other ALIF
unit or from a Gigabit Ethernet
switch
2 Connect the other end of the cable either to the other ALIF unit or to a Gigabit
Ethernet switch, as appropriate.
3 [For connections via a network] repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other ALIF unit.
