Connecting Ethernet Cables

Connecting an electrical Ethernet interface
Follow these steps to connect an electrical Ethernet interface:
Step1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the electrical Ethernet interface on NSQ1GT8C40 and the
other end to the Ethernet interface on the peer device. Because a 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T
electrical Ethernet interface supports automatic MDI/MDIX, it can use either a straight-through cable or
crossover cable for connection.
Step2 Check the LED of the electrical Ethernet interface after power-on. For the status of the LED, refer to the
table describing the behaviors of LPU LEDs in Chapter 1 "Firewall Overview."
Connecting an optical Ethernet interface
SFP optical interfaces and XFP optical interfaces are connected in the same way. In the following
description, an SFP optical interface is used as an example.
Follow these steps to connect an SFP optical Ethernet interface:
Step1 Remove the dust cover from the optical Ethernet transceiver receptacle.
