The X120 and X130 interfaces are full-duplex 10/100-Mbit Ethernet
ports.
Both ports are wired as Ethernet terminals.

Devices with Ethernet interfaces can have various pin assignments. In the case of terminal devices,
for example, the send line may be on pins 1 and 2, while pins 1 and 2 on a switch or hub may connect
to the receive line. If two devices are connected using Ethernet, the type of device will dictate whether
a crossed or uncrossed Ethernet cable needs to be used. (For example, a crossed cable is required
if two Ethernet terminal devices are directly connected.)

The MAC addresses are imprinted on an adhesive label that is located behind the protective
cover and can be seen from the front.
When connecting a PG/PC via Ethernet, the following points must be observed:
● If your PG/PC has an autocrossing function, crossed and uncrossed Ethernet cables can
be used.
● If your PG/PC does not have autocrossing, a crossed Ethernet cable must be used.
● If a hub or switch is located in between, an uncrossed Ethernet cable must be used
(assuming the hub/switch does not have autocrossing).
