An RJ-45 crimping tool is required for attaching the RJ-45 connector to the

other end of the patch cable. Use pins 3 and 6 of the connector and make a

straight-through patch cable. To be straight-through, pin 3 on one connector

must connect to pin 3 on the connector at the other end of the long-distance

span and pin 6 to 6.

ONNECTING TO A

The Extender is shipped configured to connect to a 10BASE-T hub "downlink"

port like a network interface card (NIC) with Link Integrity enabled. This means

the Extender can be connected to a standard downlink port of a hub, using a

straight-through 10BASE-T cable (see Figure 3-5 on page 13).

The Extender is shipped with Link Integrity Test set to ON (enabled). When

power is connected, the Link Test Indicator should not be lit, showing that link

is not yet established. After connecting the 10BASE-T port to a powered-up

10BASE-T hub, the indicator will light green, indicating a "good link."
