2.2 Connect DAG 3.6GE Card Ports
Description
There are two RJ45 connectors on the DAG 3.6GE card.
The upper connector, furthest from PCI connector, is the network
monitoring port. This can be connected directly to an Ethernet Hub,
Switch or Router port with a standard Ethernet cable. The monitoring port
can also be connected directly to a NIC card using an Ethernet cross-over
cable.
The second DAG 3.6GE card RJ45 socket, near PCI connector, is for time
synchronization input. This socket should never be connected to an
Ethernet network or telephone line.
2.3 DAG 3.6GE Card Sensitivity
Description
The DAG 3.6GE card monitoring port conforms to IEEE 802.3 standard
for Ethernet.
The standard specifies a maximum cable length of 100 metres for 10Base-
T, 100-BaseTX, and 1000Base-T operation over unshielded twisted pair
(CAT5) cable.
By default DAG 3.6GE card automatically detects line speed of either 10,
100, or 1000Mbps.
Light link status lights indicate the network is detected correctly.
Activity lights indicate network traffic.
