Connectors on the DeviceThere are different twisted-pair cable implementations with different transferrates. With the colibri X5 the two most common standards are available:• 10Base-TX and• 100Base-TX (auto detect).With 100Base-TX the bandwidth is 100Mbit/s (megabits per second). The effectivedata rate in this case is up to 10 million characters per second. A100Base-TX connection is plug-and-play capable in the Windows XP TabletPC Edition 2005. This means that you can connect and disconnect the cableduring operation.44Establishing a network connection:A network cable approx. 2.5 metres long is delivered with your colibri X5.Connect the side with the 4-pole round connector to the device and theother side (RJ-45 or Western plug) to the Ethernet hub or the Ethernetsocket in your room. If your company's network is in operation, youshould succeed in connecting immediately because, with the colibri X5,everything is already preconfigured.Establishing a direct connection between two computers:A direct connection between two end devices (therefore without hub) isnot provided for in theory, but can, in practice, work. For this purpose youwill need to obtain a special cable with the connections reversed (usuallyreferred to as a null-modem cable). This can also be achieved using a normalcable and a gender-changing adapter. These parts are available in acomputer store.19.5 Power SupplyAt the left rear of the colibri X5 is the two-pole power supply connector (DCINPUT).microport colibri X5 87
