3.8.1 Connecting Twisted Pair
(RJ-45, CAT 3 or CAT 5, Unshielded or Shielded)
The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-TX twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is
the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables.
1. Using standard twisted pair media, insert either end of the cable
with a RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port. Note that,
even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or
shielded cables and wiring may be used.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device.
3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that
the LED will be illuminated when the unit is powered and proper
connection is established. If this does not help, ensure that the
cable is connected properly and that the device on the other end is
powered and is not defective.
4. For Port # 1 or 1SW, if the LINK LED is not illuminated, move the
switch which has a cross-over or up-link for linking to another hub or
Switch.
