Attaching the Asanté Talk to Your Existing Ethernet Network
The Asanté
Talk may be added to an existing network using the
SILVER cable. This cable is wired as a straight-through cable and is
used to establish a network connection to a port on an Ethernet
switch or Ethernet hub.
To connect this cable, simply connect the RJ45 connector to any
available port on the Ethernet switch or Ethernet hub. Insert one
end of the cable into the RJ45 female cable connector.
Note : Do not install this cable or any other straight-thru 10BaseT
cable to a hub or switch uplink port.
The other end of the silver cable will attach to the RJ45 port on the
Asanté
Talk . Insert the cable end into the connector.
If a longer Ethernet cable is required, follow predefined IEEE
Ethernet wiring requirements for wiring 10BaseT RJ45 cables.
