NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5E cables (which work for both 100
Mb and 1000Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a
mixed-speed network.
The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment
to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted
pair cables.
1. 1000Base-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected. Insert
either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port.
Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded
cables and wiring may be used.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device
3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be
illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established
