P8420 Network General Information

KX-P8420 supports 2 types of Network Interface, Ethernet and TokenRing. Please refer to the table in next page that

describes I/F type, transmission speed for both card.

KX-P8420 has a following menu(“Network Port” menu) for your configuration of Network Interface. However, you do

not have to change these settings because the default settings can be applicable to most cases. Only when you have

some trouble, please try to change these settings.

- P8420 does not support LocalTalk interface. So Macintosh and P8420 should be connected by Ethernet cable.

Auto-Detect/10Mbps/100Mbps [Auto-Detect*]

Select the speed at which data can be transferred over the Ethernet network or select Auto-Detect to automatically

detect the speed at which data can be transferred over the Ethernet network. Try to set 10Mbps or 100Mbps if you

have a trouble with Auto-Detect setting.

-The default transmission speed setting at front panel is Auto-Detect and this auto detection works correctly in

normal network environment. However, if you are using Ethernet AUI port in a network configuration where there are

not much network packet flowing, AUI port might not be recognized properly even when you select the speed setting

at either Auto-Detect or 10Mbps. In this case, you should select 10AUI in Transmission Speed setting in WebSetup.

The following menus appear only when TokenRing board is installed.

Auto-Detect/4 Mbps/16 Mbps [Auto-Detect*]

Select a speed at which data can be transferred over the Token Ring network, or select Auto-Detect to automatically

detect the speed at which data can be transferred over the Token Ring network. Try to set 4Mbps or 16Mbps if you

have a trouble with Auto-Detect setting.
