Ethernet Connection Requirements
The server’s Ethernet interfaces directly support full or half duplex
100BaseTx or 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. To connect the server’s
Ethernet interfaces to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an
unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is connected to a
10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair hub (for a transmit speed of 10
Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (at either transmit speed) for
each interface you plan to connect.
v Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the
IntraPort 2/2+ product. Please contact your reseller or your Com-
patible Systems representative for information on obtaining the
correct Ethernet cabling supplies.
