Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface
CAUTION
The Interconnecting cables shall be accept-
able for external use and shall be rated for
the proper application with respect to voltage,
current, anticipated temperature, flammability,
and mechanical serviceability.
The RJ-45 ports labeled
Ethernet
are the Auto-MDIX10/100Base-T interface. These ports are designed to
connect directly to a 10/100Base-T device or network.
Figure 6
shows the signal/pin relationships on this inter-
face. You may connect this port to a hub or PC using a straight through or crossover cable that is up to 328 ft
long.

The CL1214E does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in.
An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connection is made via the barrel jack on the
rear panel of the CL1214E. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See
Appendix C on page 31
for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the 1214E) must meet the following requirements; DC
power supplied must be regulated 12VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +12V. The barrel type plug has
a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.
