Chapter 5: Cabling the Networking Ports

Cabling the 1Gbps or 10Gbps Ports on the AT-XEM2-12XT Line Card
Here are the guidelines to cabling the 1Gbps/10Gbps twisted pair ports on
the AT-XEM2-12XT Line Card:
The cable specifications for the ports are listed in Table 2 on
page 23.
The connectors on the cables should fit snugly into the ports, and
the tabs should lock the connectors into place.
The default speed setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This
setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that
also support Auto-Negotiation.
The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, to
operate at 1Gbps.
The ports support full-duplex only.
Do not attach cables to ports of static or LACP port trunks until
after configuring the trunks on the switch. Otherwise, the ports will
form network loops that can adversely affect network performance.
