Cabling a
Twisted Pair Port
When connecting a twisted pair cable to an RJ-45 twisted pair port,
observe the following guidelines:
An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the converter.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
You can use a straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable to
connect any type of network device to a port on the converter.
To connect to the copper port, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the twisted pair cable to the twisted pair port, as shown in
Figure 31.
Figure 31. Connecting to the Twisted Pair Port
2. Connect the other end of the twisted pair cable to the link partner.
3. Power ON the end-nodes.
4. When the connection is established, the LK LED for the 10/100Base-
TX port should show green. If the LED is OFF, refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page 83 for instructions.
