CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
MULTILINK ML2400 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3–5
The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000Base-T twisted pair segment to
the RJ45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair
cables.
1000Base-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected:
Z Insert either end of the cable with an RJ45 plug into the RJ45
connector on the module.
Although the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded
cables may be used.
Z Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device.
Z Use the LINK LED to ensure connectivity by noting that the LED will
be illuminated when the unit is powered and connection is
established.
