Installation 2-13

Connecting the XConnect II, XConnect 100,
XConnect II Lite-T, Pony 100, or Pony Print
Server Plus to an Unshielded Twisted Pair
Network

To connect an XConnect II, Pony 100, XConnect 100, or
XConnect II Lite-T to a 10baseT unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) Ethernet network, you will need an unshielded twisted
pair Ethernet hub with at least one unused port installed on
your network, plus an appropriate length of RJ45 modular
cable.

To connect a Pony 100 or XConnect 100 to a 100baseTX
Fast Ethernet network, you will need a 100baseTX Fast
Ethernet hub with at least one unused port, plus an
appropriate length of Category 5 RJ45 modular jack cable.

1. Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the print server

connector labelled "10baseT" on the XConnect II or
XConnect II Lite (not the one labelled "Serial"), or
"100baseTX/10baseT" on the XConnect 100 or Pony 100
and the other end to a port on the twisted pair Ethernet
hub as shown in figure 2-4. Note that the XConnect 100
automatically determines whether it is connected to a
10baseT or 100baseTX network.

Note:

If you have an older XConnect II or XConnect II

Lite with V3.22 or earlier firmware, make sure that
switches 2 and 3 are in the OFF position (not required
for newer print servers).

You have now completed the unshielded twisted pair
Ethernet installation. Proceed to the Verifying Successful
Hardware Installation
section below to confirm that you
have properly installed the print server.
