Installing the ANH-8/DC
Connecting Ethernet Repeater Port UTP Cables
To connect unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables to the front panel 10Base-T
repeater ports, attach the UTP cables to the front-panel RJ-45 connectors
(Ethernet Repeater Ports 1-8), as shown in
Figure
2-8.

Connecting Repeater UTP Cables
Using the MDI/MDI-X Switch
The ANH-8/DC front panel includes an external MDI/MDI-X switch
(Figure 2-9)
that allows you to change transmit and receive signals for 10Base-T repeater Port
1 from normal repeater input mode (media-dependent interface with crossover, or
MDI-X) to repeater cascade out (media-dependent interface, or MDI)
configuration. In MDI-X mode, transmit and receive signal connections are
reversed; in MDI mode, the port transmits and receives straight-through signals
With a standard (straight-through) UTP cable in Port 1, press the switch in for
MDI operation.
With a crossover cable in Port 1, keep the switch out for MDI-X operation.
