1000-Mb/s networks and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local-area network
(LAN).
Note: PCI Express is used in consumer, server, and industrial applications, as a
motherboard-level interconnect (to link motherboard-mounted peripherals) and as an
expansion card interface for add-in boards.
To access the Ethernet ports, connect a Category 3, 4, 5, 5E, or 6 unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connectors on the back of the 1U Control Station, as described in
Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) port and connector (adapter)
shows an example of the Ethernet RJ-45 port and cable connector.
Figure 13 Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) port and connector (adapter)
lists the 1U Control Station Ethernet (RJ-45) pin signals used on the connector.
