CONNECTING THE UNIT

For 300 Series fiber units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber
optic cables. For Fiber Optic ports, the TX port on the near station should be connected to the RX port
of the far end station, and the RX port should be connected to the TX port of the far end station.
For 10Base-T ports, plug a Category 3 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. For
100Base-T ports, plug a Category 5 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the
other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED's are ON once the connection has been
completed. To connect any other port to another Switch or Repeater, use a standard Cat5 straight
through or crossover cable.
Warning: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation and
will create a broadcast storm which will crash the network!
Note: For units which have the N-View Option, you can validate that all ports are working correctly by
installing the N-View OPC Server software. The software is freely distributed on the ProductCD and
our website (http://www.n-tron.com/html/opc.html). Once the software is installed, you should view the
Ports Counter page to remotely monitor each connected port.
