The E-24B provides twisted pair connectivity to an Ethernet network.

Cable requirements:

  • 10BaseT (Ethernet): Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Category 3 or higher
  • 100BaseTX (Fast Ethernet): UTP, Category 5 or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short length)
  • 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet): UTP, Category 5e or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)

  • If the print engine is 230V, use a shielded network cable.
  • Before connecting the cable, ground yourself by touching a metal object.

  1. Turn OFF the E-24B power before connecting the E-24B to any network device.
  2. A core for the network cable is supplied with this controller. Make a loop at the end of the network cable.
  3. Connect the end of the network cable with the core attached to the LAN port on the E -24B.
  4. Connect the other end of the cable to the customer 's network, such as hub connector.

The default settings in the setup may be adequate, but they may not be optimal for the user's environment. Refer the site administrator to the "Configuration and Setup" manual for setup information.
    • If initial setup (with the exclusion of changing the IP Address/DNS/WINS) is not yet done, Fiery Setup Wizard menu is selectable from WebTools and CommandWorkStation. For details of Fiery Setup Wizard, refer to the Configuration and Setup Guide.

  15. After configuring the Setup options, verify the network connection.
  16. Make sure that the system date and time, and the time zone have been adjusted before leaving the customer site. [Link to Adjusting the System Date and Time]
