Connecting the Probe
53
Use the following procedures to connect the probe’s RJ-45 connector to a 10MB/s
or 100MB/s Ethernet network for telemetry communications. Never use both the
AUI and RJ-45 connectors.
1. Connect the probe’s 10Base-T/100Base-TX (RJ-45) port, located on the rear
panel, to the network using a category 5 cable. Figure 3-5 on page 54 shows
how to connect the probe to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network.
2. Select RJ-45 as the Physical Connector parameter from the Modify/View
Interface Values menu.
3. If you are connecting to a device that supports the auto-negotiation protocol,
select Auto Negotiate for the Link Speed parameter from the Modify/View
Interface Values menu. Otherwise, select 10MB/s (for 10MB/s Ethernet) or
100MB/s (for 100MB/s Ethernet).
The probe will automatically negotiate the speed of the interface if the Link
Speed parameter is set to Auto Negotiate and if the connected device
supports the auto-negotiation protocol.
4. If you selected 10MB/s or 100MB/s for the Link Speed parameter, you must
also select Half-Duplex for the Full/Half Duplex parameter from the
Modify/View Interface Values menu.
