Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco ME 1200 NID
Initial Configuration
Step 1
When connecting to workstations, servers, and routers, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45
connector on the front panel. (See Figure 2-10) When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover
cable. (See the “Cables and Adapters” section on page B-4 for cable-pin-out descriptions.)
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when
both devices have established link. (See Figure 2-10.)
