2) Prepare a twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 plugs on each end. Use Cat 3, 4 or 5 cable
for standard 10Mbps Ethernet connections, or Cat 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
connections.
3) Plug one end of the cable into the PC's NIC and plug the other end into any RJ-45 port of
the AT-52-EDFA series. All the AT-52-EDFA RJ-45 port supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps
Ethernet connections. Ensure that the plug's locking tab clicks into proper position to make
good access.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. This may damage the EDFA.
Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
Note:
1) Connect other compatible AT-52-EDFA series or network hub, adopt direct or across cable
to connect MDI port in other device.
2) Ensure that the twisted pair cable length does not exceed 100 meters.
3) Cat 5 cable is recommended for all network connections to avoid confusion or
inconvenience, when upgrading to Fast Ethernet devices in the future.
4) Cascade length provision: IEEE 802.3 standard prescribes that through twisted pair at most
4 hub (such as repeaters) can be cascade, and IEEE 802.3u standard has more strict order for
high-speed Ethernet. So, when cascade device except for this AT-52-EDFA series, please
following the above connection regulation. But please pay attention because AT-52-EDFA
series divide the connected path into unattached port, don’t reckon in the AT-52-EDFA series
or connected cable related device in cascade length.
Connection Management (Out-Band)
Remote management can be performed through the dedicated LAN port (10/100BASE-TX
port) on the front of the AT-52-EDFA or any 10/100BASE port of AT-52-EDFA.
Before the Management port be accessed through LAN port, please configure the IP address
and subnet mask by serial port according to network configuration requirement.
