10Base-T Network; 100Base-Tx Network - Enterasys Matrix 7G4202-72 Hardware Installation Manual

10BASE-T Network

10BASE-T Network
When connecting a 10BASE‐T segment to any of the fixed front panel ports of the 7G4202‐72 or
7G4282‐49, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE
802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐T. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.

100BASE-TX Network

The fixed front panel ports of the 7G4202‐72 or 7G4282‐49 provide a connection that supports
Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE
802.3‐2002 100BASE‐TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at
100 Mbps. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.
1000BASE-T Network
The 7G4202‐72 and 7G4282‐49 support 10/100/1000 Mbps by means of fixed RJ45 front panel
connectors. These connections support copper wire connections that can operate up to 1000 Mbps.
The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 network
requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed.
2-2 Network Requirements
Note: If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3 cabling
does not meet 100 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3 or Category 5
cabling can be used. Refer to
100BASE-TX networks and cabling.
Note: The fixed ports of the module support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between
85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation. The module is capable of operating at 10, 100, or 1000
Mbps and can automatically sense the port speed of the other device and adjust its speed
accordingly.
Note: The fixed ports of each module support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between
85 and 111 ohms for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation and can automatically sense the port speed of
the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.
