RJ45 Connector Crimp Specifications
Please reference the illustration below for the Cat5 cable specifications:
Connecting the Unit
For FX/FXE units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables. The TX
port on the FX/FXE models should be connected to the RX port of the far end station. The RX port on the FX/FXE
models should be connected to the TX port of the far end station.
For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5e twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end to
the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED’s are ON once the connection has been completed. To connect any
other port to another Switch or Repeater, use a standard Cat5 straight through or crossover cable.
Note: For units having the N-View Option , you can validate that all ports are working correctly by
installing the N-View OPC Server software. The software is freely distributed on the Product CD
and our website (
http://www.redlion.net/support/software-firmware ). Once the software is installed,
you should view the Ports Counter page to remotely monitor each connected port. You may find it
helpful to copy [Alt]+[Print Screen] the Port Counter information for each port and paste
[C[V] into a Windows document for further review. Please consult your N-View OPC Server
Manual for additional information.
CAUTION: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation
and will create a broadcast storm which will crash the network!
ATTENTION: la création d'un port à l'autre connexion sur le même commutateur (c'est-à-dire bou-
cle) est une opération illégale et créera une tempête de diffusion qui va planter le réseau!
