Ethernet Installation
•
The
XJetIV-Plus
and
XConnect II
can connect directly to either a
10baseT unshielded-twisted pair Ethernet or a 10base2 thin Ethernet
network (XConnect II Lite models have either a 10baseT or a 10base2
connector, but not both). The print server will automatically sense the
type of network.
•
The
XJet2000
and
Pony Print Server Plus
can connect to a 10baseT
Ethernet network.
•
The
XJet 3000, XJet100, XConnect 100,
and
Pony 100
can connect to
either a 100baseTX Fast Ethernet network or a 10baseT Ethernet
network. The print server will automatically sense the type of network.
•
The
XJet IV-2
connects to either a 10base2 or 10base5 network (make
sure that the jumper block is in the appropriate position as described
earlier in this chapter).
Connecting the print server to an Unshielded Twisted Pair Network
(100baseTX or 10baseT)
To connect an XJetIV-Plus, XJet 3000, XJet 100, XJet 2000, XConnect II,
XConnect 100, Pony Print Server Plus, or Pony 100 print server to an
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet network, you will need an Ethernet
hub (with at least one unused port installed on your network) and an
appropriate length of RJ45 modular cable is needed. If you are connecting
an XJet 3000, XJet 100, XConnect 100, or Pony 100 to a 100baseT Fast
Ethernet network, you must use Category 5 RJ45 modular cable.
