Procedure
Step 1
Connect one end of the cable to the SFP module port. Insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable when
you connect to servers, workstations, and routers. Insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable when you connect
to switches or repeaters.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device.

Step 3
Observe the port status LED.
•
The LED turns green when the switch and the other device have an established link.
•
The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process
takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
•
If the LED is off, the other device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might
be a problem with the adapter in the other device.
Step 4
If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or other device.
