TCP/IP (E
THERNET
)
Ethernet is the most popular LAN technology in use today. The IEEE standard
802.3 defines the rules for configuring an Ethernet network. It is a 10 Mbps,
CSMA/CD baseband network that runs over thin coax, thick coax, or twisted pair
cable.
The Ethernet option makes your RL5000 ATM LAN (Local Area Network) or WAN
(Wide Area Network) capable. The ATM functions that are normally performed via
the dial-up telephone system, such as customer transactions and remote monitor-
ing, can now be performed using existing in-house communications network. ATM
transaction processing and hardware monitoring functions are performed across a
shared network medium. Ethernet is popular because it strikes a good balance
between speed, cost and ease of installation. These benefits, combined with wide
acceptance in the computer marketplace and the ability to support virtually all popu-
lar network protocols, make the Ethernet option an ideal networking solution for
your RL5000 ATM.

1. Open the control panel hood and
turn the power switch on the
power supply to the OFF (0)
position.
2. Refer to the section on “Power and
Communication”. Route the
10Base-T (CAT-5) cable through
the cabinet base cable access
hole. Secure cable inside vault area
and continue up to the control
panel access holes.
3. Connect the RJ-45 end of CAT-5
cable to the TCP/IP connector
located on the Docking board
assembly as shown in Figures 1a
and 1b.
4. Secure cable into existing cable
harness runs. Refer to the 5000-
series Configuration manual for
programming Ethernet options.
