3.4 Connecting the Local Unit to the Remote Unit
NOTE
To ensure proper operation, we recommend that only Category 5, or better, Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cabling be used to connect the Local Unit to the Remote Unit. The UTP cabling must have a
straight-through conductor configuration with no crossovers, and must be terminated with 8-conductor
RJ45 connectors at both ends. The combined length of any patch cords using stranded conductors must
not exceed 10 meters.

With Surface Cabling
1. Plug one end of the Category 5 UTP cabling (not included) into the
Link port on the Local Unit.
2. Plug the other end of the Category 5 UTP cabling into the Link port
on the Remote Unit.
3.4.2
With Premise Cabling
1. Plug one end of a Category 5 patch cord (not included) into the
Link port on the Local Unit.
2. Plug the other end of the patch cord into the Category 5 information
outlet near the host computer.
3. Plug one end of the second Category 5 patch cord (not included)
into the Link port on the Remote Unit.
4. Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the Category 5
information outlet near the USB device.
NOTE
The maximum length of the Category 5 UTP cable, including patch cords, must not exceed 50 meters. The
combined length of any patch cords using stranded conductors must not exceed 10 meters.
3.5 Checking the Installation
1. Check that the Power LEDs on the Local Unit and the Remote Unit
are both on.
