Connecting a Twisted Pair Segment to the 5G102-06
3.
Verify that a link exists by checking that the port
RX
(Receive) LED is ON (flashing amber,
blinking green, or solid green). If the
RX
LED is OFF and the
TX
(Transmit)
LED is not
blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on:
a.
Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5e or Category 5 with an impedance between
85 and 111 ohms with a maximum length of 100 m (328 ft). To operate at 1000 Mbps,
eight-wire Category 5e or 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 and
check the cable for continuity. Refer to
Figure 3-8
and
Figure 3-9
for four-wire RJ45
connections. Refer to
Figure 3-10
and
Figure 3-11
for eight-wire RJ45 connections.
d.
If a link is not established, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to
“Getting Help”
in
About
This Guide
for details.

Repeat all the steps above until all connections have been made.
