C2E - C2ENET-1/-2

If the control system is connected to a larger network via a hub, make sure that a 
straight (non-crossover type) Ethernet cable is used and that the cable is not 
connected to the UPLINK port of an Ethernet hub. 

If the system is connected directly to a personal computer (PC) Ethernet card, make 
sure that the cable between the C2ENET-1/-2 is a crossover type. 

The following illustrates pinouts for a straight through and crossover RJ-45 Ethernet 
cables. Pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used.
