Chapter 3. ASMI Installation Guide
Connecting the Ethernet
The ASMI add-on card has a dedicated RJ45 Ethernet connector - this has to be provided by the native
system. The connector may be used either as a 100 Mbps 100Base-TX connection or as a 10 Mbps
10BASE-T connection. The adapter can sense the connection speed and will automatically adjust to it.
10 Mbps Connection
For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks the Fast Ethernet adapter uses category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. To
establish a 10 Mbps connection, the cable has to be connected to a 10BASE-T hub.
1. Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T adapter.
2. Align the RJ45 plug with the notch on the adapter’s connector and insert it into the adapter’s
connector. You should hear an audible click, as the Ethernet plug latches.
100 Mbps Connection
For 100BASE-TX Ethernet networks the ASMI module supports category 5 UTP cabling. To establish a
100 Mbps connection, the cable has to be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub.
1. Make sure that the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX adapter.
2. Align the RJ45 plug with the notch on the adapter’s connector and insert it into the adapter’s
connector. You should hear an audible click, as the Ethernet plug latches.
Warning
The UTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX cable are identical to those
for 10BASE-T cable when using category 5 UTP cable.
