Connecting Twisted Pair Cables to Fixed Ports

All fixed ports of the DLE02-MA and the DLE52-MA are 10/100 ports
with internal crossovers. When connecting a workstation, use a
straight-through cable. When connecting networking devices, such as
another bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.
All DLE02-MA and the DLE52-MA front panel ports support
Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) 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.
Connect a twisted pair segment to the DLE02-MA or the DLE52-MA as
follows:
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is
powered ON.
2. Connect the Twisted Pair segment to the DLE02-MA or the
DLE52-MA by inserting the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair
segment into the desired RJ45 port as shown in Figure 3-2.
