Connecting Cisco Network Analysis Modules to the Network
To connect a network analysis module to the network, use a straight-through 2-pair Category 5
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to connect the RJ-45 port on the network analysis module to a
switch, hub, repeater, server, or other network device. (See
Figure 25-2
.)
Caution
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the network analysis module (NM-NAM) only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring or cabling.
The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.
Note
RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems. These cables are widely available and must be
Category 5 cables.
