connection to the analyzer’s Ethernet port requires a crossover Ethernet cable. Table 6-3 shows
details.

Ethernet CAT 5 cable with RJ
connectors at both ends.
You can purchase crossover cables or build your own. Figure 6-14 shows the crossover cable pinouts.
If you build your own cable, ensure the connectors are properly crimped and that no internal wires are
exposed outside of the connector. Test the cable for proper connectivity. If you are experiencing
connection issues, always check that you have the correct cable pinout and that the cable and
connectors are free from damage and are properly inserted in the ports.
