Connecting Transceivers to a Copper Network
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded,
twisted-pair Category 5 cabling.
Caution
Step 1
Insert the network cable RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 connector on the transceiver.
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four-twisted-pair, crossover Category 5 cabling.
Step 2
Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 connector on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target device.
Verifying the Installation
Verifying Newly Installed Modules
Enter the show module or show port [modnum/port_num] privileged EXEC command.
This verifies that the system acknowledges the new modules and has brought them online.
What to Do Next
Enter the ping host user EXEC command to ping a host and check connectivity.
If the host is unresponsive, check the IP address of the switch and default IP route, if appropriate.
