2.3.5 Connecting the 3E02-08-ATX Ethernet Switch
Module
You can connect each of the eight ports on the 3E02-08-ATX to a
10BASE-T port on a device such as a workstation, server, hub, etc. using
UTP wiring. The RJ45 ports on the 3E02-08-ATX provide internal
crossover, which means that, depending on whether crossover is provided
on the device you're connecting to, you can use either crossover or
straight-through UTP cable to connect a device to a port. Refer to
Appendix B for cable specifications.
Connect one end of a UTP cable to an open 10BASE-T port on the
3E02-08-ATX and the other end to the RJ45 port on the device (see
Figure 2-5). If the device doesn't have an RJ45 port, connect a 10BASE-T
transceiver directly to the device's AUI port, and then connect the UTP
cable to the RJ45 port on the transceiver.
