Epica DGX 16 and Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Cable Requirements
 LAN Connection – an RJ-45 link cable (either crossover or straight-through) is required to
connect an Epica DGX 16 or 32 enclosure to a LAN.
TCP/IP Port and Indicator LEDs
The TCP/IP port, which provides the NXB-AP-1000 connection, is located on the rear of the enclosure
on the right-hand side of the CPU (FIG. 27).
Important: The Enc Link connectors at the far left of the CPU are to be used only for linking
enclosures; do not attempt to use either of them for an NXB-AP-1000 connection.
The TCP/IP port is an Ethernet link connector, handling Ethernet 10/100 connections for 100 Mbps
(megabits per second) and 10 Mbps. (This connection is compatible with most Ethernet based LANs.)
The round LED to the left of the TCP/IP port indicates the following:
 Green NXB-AP-1000 Status LED
On (blinks on and off at 5 second intervals) – Connection status is active
Off – Connection status is not active
The two small rectangular LEDs on the RJ-45 connector (FIG. 27) indicate the following:
 Amber L/A (Link/Activity) Status LED
On – Link status is active (when the Ethernet cable is connected and terminated correctly)
Off – Link status is not active
 Green Speed Status LED
On – Speed status is 100 Mbps
Off – Speed status is 10 Mbps
Note: When the connection is made, the DHCP server on the network will automatically assign an
IP address. If you power down and power back up, the DHCP server will reassign the IP address,
which may or may not be the same address it assigned before. To prevent the possibility of the
IP address changing at power up, you can change the DHCP address to a static IP address (see
page 83).
