3.5.1 Connecting UTP Cables to Ports 1 Through 14
Before connecting a segment to the 8H02-16, check each end of the
segment to verify wire crossover.
To establish a link, you must have an odd number of
!
crossovers (preferably one) between 10BASE-T devices of the
CAUTION
same type (i.e., from repeater to repeater or transceiver to
transceiver).
Connect a twisted pair segment to the 8H02-16 as follows:
1. Ensure that the device at the other end of the segment is connected to
the segment and is powered ON.
2. Refer to Figure 3-5. Connect the twisted pair segment to the 8H02-16
by inserting the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the
desired RJ45 port (ports 1 through 14).

3. Verify that a Link exists by checking that the port RX LED is on
(flashing green or yellow or on solid green). If the RX LED is off,
perform the following steps until it is on:
a. Check that the 10BASE-T device at the other end of the twisted
pair segment is ON and connected to the segment.
b. Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have
the proper pinouts (Figure 3-6) and check the cable for continuity.
