2.2 Ethernet RJ45 Interface Definition
The UT-6801S-GW supports one Ethernet port and one RS-232/485/422 serial port.
10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface
The 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet interface is located on the front panel of the device, with an RJ45
interface type. The pin distribution of the RJ45 port is defined as shown in the figure. Connection uses
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP), and the connection distance does not exceed
100m. The 100Mbps connection uses a 5th category line with 100Ω, while the 10Mbps connection uses a
3rd, 4th, or 5th category line with 100Ω.
The RJ45 port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, which can be connected to a PC or server
using a straight-through cable and connected to other switches or hubs. In a straight-through cable (MDI),
pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 correspond to the connection. For the MDI-X port of a switch or hub, a crossover cable is
used: 1→3, 2→6, 3→1, 6→2. The pin definitions of the 10Base-T/100Base-TX in the MDI/MDI-X application
are shown in the table below.
Note: "TX±" is for transmitting data + and -, "RX±" is for receiving data + and -, "-" means unused.

2.6 Device Installation
Before installation, confirm the device's operating environment, such as power supply voltage,
installation space, and installation method. Please carefully check the following installation requirements:
Check if the necessary cables and connectors for installation are available.
Check if the cables are in place according to reasonable configuration requirements.
The product does not provide installation components. Users need to prepare components for the
selected installation type: screws, nuts, and tools, etc., to ensure reliable installation.
Power supply requirements: 12-57.6VAC.
Environmental requirements: operating temperature is -40~85℃, operating humidity is 5%~95%
(non-condensing).
Installation method: DIN rail installation (default), wall-mounted installation (optional).
2.7 Cable Laying
The cable laying must meet the following conditions:
Before laying the cable, verify that the specifications, models, and quantities of all cables meet the
requirements.
Before laying the cable, check whether the cable is damaged, whether there is a factory record, and
quality assurance certificates to prove its quality.
The required cable specifications, quantity, direction, and laying position all meet the construction
requirements, and the laying length should be determined according to the actual position.
There should be no broken wires or intermediate joints in the laid cable.
The cables in the aisle should be straight, neat, evenly curved, smooth, and straight.
In the slot channel, the cable should be straight, not exceeding the slot channel, to avoid blocking
other incoming and outgoing wire holes. The cable should be tied and fixed at the outlet of the slot channel
or at the bend of the cable.
User cables and power cords are laid separately. When cables, power cords, and ground wires are laid
in the same groove, they cannot overlap or mix. When the cable is too long, the cable's regular ground
should be placed in the middle of the cable tray and should not be pressed on other cables.
Both ends of the cable should have corresponding markings, and the marking content should be
concise and clear for maintenance.

Figure.
IP Address
A 32-bit address assigned to a device connected to the Internet. An IP address consists of
two fields: a network number field (net-id) and a host number field (host-id). The IP
address format is X.X.X.X, default display: 192.168.1.125.
Subnet Mask
The mask is a 32-bit number corresponding to an IP address, some of which are 1s and
others are 0s. The mask can divide the IP address into two parts: the subnet address and
the host address. The subnet address corresponds to the part in the IP address and mask
where the bit is 1. The format of the mask is X.X.X.X, default display: 255.255.255.0.
Gateway
The default gateway in the host is usually referred to as the default route. The default
route is the route selected by the router when the destination address in the IP packet
cannot be found in other routes. All packets whose destinations are not in the router's
routing table will use the default route. The format of the gateway is X.X.X.X, default
display: 192.168.1.1.
DNS
DNS stands for Domain Name Server, which is used to resolve domain names that are
easy for us to remember into IP addresses that the Internet can recognize. If our device
needs to access a hostname, we need to use this server to resolve it to an IP address.
The format of the DNS address is X.X.X.X, default display: 0.0.0.0.
Ethernet
Rate
Set the interface rate to Auto Negotiation, 10M Half Duplex, 10M Full Duplex, 100M Half
Duplex, 100M Full Duplex, Enable, disable. DHCP is also available.
DHCP
A 32-bit address assigned to a device connected to the Internet. An IP address consists of
two fields: a network number field (net-id) and a host number field (host-id). The IP
address format is X.X.X.X, default display: 192.168.1.125.
