Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet switch or hub
The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port (see
figure 7
on page 27) is designed to connect to an Ethernet switch or
hub. The Ethernet RJ-45 pin and signal definitions for the Network Access Router or for a NIC card in a
workstation/PC are shown in
figure 8
. Connect a straight-through CAT-5 cable (one wired as shown in
figure 8
) between the Model 6081RC and the hub/switch.

Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet-capable
workstation or PC
The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port can connect to a single Ethernet-capable workstation or PC by means of a
cross over cable. Refer to
figure 9
to assemble a cross-connect cable that will connect between the NIC Ether-
net port in the workstation and the Network Access Router 10/100Base-T Ethernet port.
