Panel Details” on page 5 and “Back Panel Details” on page 10 in Chapter 1.
This section provides instructions for connecting devices (such as hubs, servers,
personal computers, and workstations) to the switch. Remember these tips when
connecting cables:
•
Avoid stretching or bending the cables excessively.
•
Avoid routing the cables near potential sources of electromagnetic
interference, such as motorized devices and fluorescent lights.
•
Avoid trip hazards by routing the cables away from aisles and other areas
where people walk. If such routes cannot be avoided, use floor cable covers or
similar material to secure and protect the cables.
•
Be sure that the cables connected to the switch are supported so that the cable
connectors are not excessively strained.
•
On the STS16-20RM, use a Category 3 or better UTP cable or a 150 ohm STP
or STP-A cable with an impedance-matching balun at each end.
•
STS16-20FRM supports 50/125 µm and 62.5/125 µm fiber cables with a
VF-45 connector. Fiber cable lengths up to 2000 meters are supported.
Note that these connectors are not compatible to the fiber ST Duplex
connectors on the STS-T8-04 Token-Ring SmartStack Interface Module.
Standard converter cables are needed. Also, on STS16-20FRM, a UTP/STP
connection is only supported via the STS-T5-04 Token Ring SmartStack
Interface Module.
See Appendix B, “Cable and Pin Information” for specific information on
supported cable types, cable lengths and connector pinouts.
Connecting Devices to the Token Ring Ports
If you will not be using building wiring (in-the-wall cables) to connect the device
to the switch, perform the following steps. If you will be using building wiring,
follow the steps beginning with step 1 on page 60.
Follow these steps to connect one or more devices to the Token Ring ports on the
switch:
