Connecting UTP Cables to RJ45 Ports

ThefixedRJ45frontpanel10/100/1000MbpsportssupportAutoMDIX, whichmeansthatyoucan

usestraight‐throughorcrossovertwistedpaircabling.

Toconnecttwistedpairsegmentstotheswitch,refertoFigure 2‐18andproceedasfollows:

1. Ensurethatthedevicetobeconnectedattheotherendof

thesegmentispoweredon.

2. ConnectthetwistedpairsegmenttotheswitchbyinsertingtheRJ45connectoronthetwisted

pairsegmentintothedesiredRJ45portontheB5switch.

3. VerifythatalinkexistsbycheckingthattheLink/ActivityLEDison(solidgreenorblinking

green).

IftheLink/Activi tyLEDisoff,performthefollowingstepsuntilitison:

a. VerifythatthecablingbeingusedisCategory 5orbetterwithanimpedancebetween85

and111 ohmswithamaximumlengthof100meters(328feet).

b. Verifythatthedeviceattheotherendofthetwisted

pairsegmentisonandproperly

connectedtothesegment.

c. Verifythatthe RJ45connectorsonthetwistedpairsegmenthavetheproperpinoutsand

checkthecableforcontinuity.

4. Ifalinkisnotestablished,contactEnterasys Networks.Referto“GettingHelp”onpage xvii

fordetails.

Repeatallstepsaboveuntil

allconnectionshave beenmade.

Note: All fixed RJ45 front panel ports support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling

with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Category 3 cable may be used if the connection is

going to be used only for 10 Mbps.
