SmartLynx if they are not yet connected (See diagram
opposite).
4.2
Power up your computer.
4.3
Observe both transmitter and receiver power LED are ON,
and source device is switched on.
9. Preparing and connecting System CAT-5 cable
The SmartNet utilizes category 5 (CAT 5), unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to
transport signal between transmitter and receiver and shielded twisted pair (STP)
to transport signals between SNX-2114s and SNX-2112s..
CAT 5 cable is more desirable than coaxial cable due to its low cost and ease of
installation. This cable is used for LAN applications and is found in abundance,
already installed, in many buildings . The category 5 is a standard which estab-
lishes minimum requirements for telecommunications cabling within a commer-
cial building. The standard covers various aspects of wiring including telecommu-
nications outlets.
Following is the wiring standard for terminating CAT 5 cable using RJ 45 connec-
tor:
Pair 1
Pins 1 & 2
Pair 2
Pins 3 & 6
