CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This section provides the procedures for connecting UTP and fiber optic
segments to the modules.
The four Ethernet segments and the four Fast Ethernet segments on the
6H123-50 and the three Ethernet segments and the three Fast Ethernet
segments on the 6H133-37 can be accessed via RJ21 connectors (CONN
1 through 4 and CONN 1 through 3) for UTP connections. If a port is to
operate at 100 Mbps, each pair in a cable must be Category 5 compliant
with an impedance of 85 to 111 ohms.
Slots 5 and 6 of the 6H123-50 support FE-100TX, FE-100FX, or
FE-100F3 Fast Ethernet Interface Modules. The FE-100TX has an RJ45
connector for a Twisted Pair cable connection. The FE-100FX has an SC
style connector for a multimode fiber optic cable connection. The
FE-100F3 has an SC style connector for a single mode fiber optic cable
connection.
Refer to
Section 3.5.1
to make UTP connections to interfaces CONN 1
through 4 and CONN 1 through 3 of the 6H123-50 and 6H133-37.
Refer to
Section 3.5.2
to make a Twisted Pair connection to an
FE-100TX.
Refer to
Section 3.5.3
to make a fiber optic connection to an FE-100FX or
FE-100F3.
Refer to the associated High Speed Interface Module user’s guide to make
connections to an optional High Speed Interface Module installed in the
HSIM slot of a 6H133-37.
NOTE
If the device is being installed in a network using
SmartTrunking, there are rules concerning the cable
connections and port configurations that must be followed for
SmartTrunking to operate properly. Before connecting the
cables, refer to the Cabletron Systems
SmartTrunk User’s
Guide for the configuration information.
