3. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RCV (Receive) LED
is ON (flashing amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the RCV
LED is OFF and the XMT (Transmit) LED is not blinking amber,
perform the following steps:
a. Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an
impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. To operate at 1 Gbps,
category 5 cabling must be used.
b. Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment
is on and properly connected to the segment.
c.
Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have
the proper pinouts (see Appendix A) and check the cable for
continuity.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 above, for a second connection, as needed.
5. If a link cannot be established, refer to Chapter 3 for LED
troubleshooting details. Contact Cabletron Systems if a problem
persists. Refer to Getting Help in the Introduction.
Refer to Chapter 4 for information on Local Management for the
