4 Phaser 860 Color PrinterConnecting Your Printer to a NetworkEthernet Interface Conforms to IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II standards. Twisted pair (10BaseT or 100BaseTx) connection. Thick coax (10Base5) and thin coax (10Base2) connections require adapters; contactyour dealer to obtain adapters, cables, and terminators.CautionTo avoid damaging the Ethernet interface, turn off the printer before making anyEthernet connections.Ethernet Connections and Indicators1. RCV (receive) indicator (green); blinks while the interface is receiving.2. XMT (transmit) indicator (yellow); blinks while the interface is transmitting.3. Twisted pair (10BaseT) connector.Ethernet Cables100BaseTx requires Category 5 (100-Ohm UTP) cabling.To fully comply with EMI (electromagnetic interference) specifications, the use ofshielded or screened cables may be required. “Shielded” describes IBM-defined cablesused with the DB-9 connector. “Screened” describes cables that are electrically similar toCategory 4 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), but with an added shield or screen.CautionDo not use “silver satin” telephone extension cables for 10BaseT networks, eitheras drop cords or as patch cables in the wiring closet. (Silver satin cables are flat,usually silver or gray, with 28-gauge stranded or tinsel conductors.) Do not useshielded twisted pair cable intended for IBM Token Ring networks or voice-grade(level 1 or 2) unshielded twisted pair cables. These cables do not meet therequirements for 10BaseT and will lead to unreliable operation.0180-01AEthernetRCV XMT132
