This section applies to the following products:
AT-x950-28XTQm Switch
AT-XEM2-12XT Line Card
AT-XEM2-12XTm Line Card
Here are the cabling guidelines:
The cable requirements for ports 1 to 24 on the AT-x950-28XTQm
Switch are listed in "Cable Requirements" on page 24.
The cable requirements for the AT-XEM2-12XT and AT-XEM2-
12XTm Line Cards are listed in Table 8 on page 32 and Table 10
on page 34, respectively.
The connectors on the cables should fit snugly into the ports, and
the tabs should lock the connectors into place.
The default speed setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This
setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that
also support Auto-Negotiation.
The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, to
operate at 1Gbps or higher speeds.
The ports support full-duplex only.
Do not attach cables to ports of static or LACP port trunks until
after you have configured the ports on the switch. Otherwise, the
ports will form network loops that can adversely affect network
performance.
