Category-5 twisted-pair cabl

Ethernet cables are divided into two categories: straight-through and crossover. 

z

 

Straight-through cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ-45 
connectors at both ends are the same. The cable connects a terminal device (PC 
or router) to a HUB or LAN Switch.  

z

 

Crossover cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ-45 
connectors at both ends are different. The cable connects a terminal device (PC or 
router) to another terminal device. You can make crossover cables by yourself. 

For the Ethernet cable pinout, see 

Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers  Cable 

Manual

. 

8.5.6  Connecting the Interface Cable 

Step 1: Plug one end of the cable to the GE port on the 1GBE/2GBE module on the 
SecPath V1000-A and another end to the peer device. (For a PC or Router, use a 
straight-through cable; for a HUB or LAN Switch, use a crossover cable.) 

Step 2: Power up the SecPath V1000-A and check the status of the LED for the module 
on the front panel of the SecPath V1000-A. ON means the module has passed the 
POST and can operate normally; OFF means the POST fails. In the latter case, contact 
your agent for help.  

Step 3: Check the status of the LINK LED on the 1GBE/2GBE module panel. ON 
means a link is present. OFF means no link is present; check the line for the cause.
