3.5.2 Connecting a Twisted Pair Segment to the
FE-100TX
An FE-100-TX installed in port 7 and/or 8 has an internal crossover
switch. When connecting a workstation, use a straight-through cable and
set the Fast Ethernet Interface Module crossover switch shown in
Figure 3-4 to the crossed over position marked with X. When connecting
networking devices, such as another bridge, repeater, or router, use a
straight-through cable and set the Fast Ethernet Interface Module
crossover switch shown in
Figure 3-4 to the not crossed over position,
marked with =.
A schematic of a crossover cable is shown in Figure 3-3 . If the wires do
not cross over, use the switch on the FE-100TX to internally cross over
the RJ45 port.
Figure 3-4 shows how to properly set the FE-100TX
crossover switch.
