Connecting To A Utp Cable - Cabletron Systems T2015 Installation Manual

3.2.4 Connecting to a UTP Cable

The Token-Ring adapter can be connected to an unshielded
twisted pair lobe link through the RJ-45 port. The unshielded
twisted pair connection consists of two twisted pairs:
• One pair (RX+, RX-) for the incoming (receive) signal from the
upstream neighbor in the Token-Ring.
• One pair (TX+, TX-) for the outgoing (transmit) signal to the
downstream neighbor in the Token-Ring.
To connect the adapter to a Token-Ring lobe link, via the RJ-45
port, connect the UTP lobe link (4, Fig. 3-3) to the adapter by
inserting the RJ-45 connector (3) into the RJ-45 port (2) on the
adapter.

The LED will turn green when the adapter has accessed the
network.
