Ethernet

This eBOX port is just like an Ethernet port on a computer, to connect it to a hub, switch or router, use a straight through cable. To connect it to another eBOX or computer, use a crossover cable.

The eBOX supports IEEE 802.3u clause 28 Auto-Negotiation which automatically senses the Ethernet port speed & duplex operation and chooses the highest performance settings.

In addition, four LEDs on the front panel that indicate various operating conditions of the Ethernet port. These LEDs are:

• Link

• Receive activity

• Transmit activity

• Collision
