Connecting a Twisted Pair Segment to the
FE-100TX
An FE-100TX installed in slot 5 and/or 6 of the 6H123-50 has an internal
crossover switch. When connecting a workstation, use a straight-through
cabling and set the Fast Ethernet Interface Module crossover switch
shown in
Figure 3-3
to the crossed over position marked 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 3-3
to the not crossed over
position, marked with =.
NOTE
The cable pinouts for a 25-pair cable (RJ21) can be found in
the Cabletron Systems

Section 1.7
for
details on how to obtain this document.
NOTE
To ensure proper operation, use only Category 5 Unshielded
