3.8.1 Connecting UTP Cables
The fixed front panel ports of the device are 10/100 RJ45 ports with automatic TXI/RXI-X
detection between speeds of 10 and 100 Mbps, when Auto-Negotiation is enabled. When
connecting a workstation to these ports, use a straight-through cable. When connecting networking
devices to these ports, such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.
NOTE: All RJ45 front panel ports on the device support Category 5 or better Twisted
Pair cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Category 3 cable may be
used if the connection is going to be used only for 10 Mbps.
To connect a twisted pair segment to the device, refer to
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.
2. Connect the twisted pair segment to the device by inserting the RJ45 connector
pair segment into the desired RJ45 port.
