2.2.2 Network Connection
There are two ways to use the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connec-
tor located on the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 :
1. For Local Area Network (LAN) applications using the
ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504, you will simply plug
one end of your Ethernetcable into the 10/100Base-T con-
nector, and the other end into the hub connected to your net-
work.
2. When installing and configuring, you will find it convenient
to hook the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 directly
to your computer’s Ethernet card. To do this you will need to
use a “crossed-cable”, such as the one supplied with your
server.
Cabling requirements for the Ethernet side
Use an RJ-45 connector to connect the Ethernet port of the
ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 to the network hub.
The cable for connection should be Category 3 (for 10Mbps
data rate) or Category 5 (for 100 Mbps data rate) UTP/STP
cable, which is compliant with EIA/TIA 586 specifications.
Maximum length between the hub and any ADAM-4570/
ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is up to 100 meters (ca. 300 ft).
