Connection of the Network Adapter
This chapter describes the physical connection of the S2Konnect N-2020SX Network Adapter to
the network.
Transmission Distances
Depending on the physical media (cable), different distances can be reached for transmission with
the Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
Connection to the Network
Observe the safety instructions given on page 7.
In order to connect the adapter to the network, proceed as follows:
1.
If necessary, configure the port on the switch to which the network adapter is to be
connected (also see the switch manual).
2.
If possible, disconnect the switch and the computer from the power supply.
3.
Remove the protective plug (if available) from the switch port which is to be used.
4.
At one end of the cable connect the LC duplex or RJ-45 connector to the port on the switch.
5.
Remove the protective plug (if available) from the port on the network adapter (fiber-optic
types only).
4.
At the other end of the cable connect the connector to the port on the network adapter.
(see figure 2. “Connection of fiber-optics cables/plugs“).
The port type (e.g. 1000Base-SX) on the network adapter and that on the switch must be
identical.
