90 Appendix A Technical specifications
Use cable that is wired in accordance with EIA-568-A wiring style. This wiring style ensures that a twisted pair inside the patch cord carries the transmit signal (pins 4 and 5) and the receive signal (pins 1 and 2). nortel strongly recommends that you use professionally manufactured patch cords.
Connect the quad T1/E1 CSU/DSU WAN interface card to the service provider network using a straight-through cable or a crossover cable, depending on how the service provider wired the jack:
•For a straight-through connection, you can use a standard category 5 (Ethernet) straight-through cable.
•For a crossover connection, you cannot use a standard category 5 crossover cable. Do not interchange the T1/E1 CSU/DSU crossover cable and the Ethernet crossover cable.
For information about the cable pinouts for a crossover connection, see “T1/E1 CSU/DSU cable pinouts for crossover connection” on page 88. For information about the cable pinouts for a straight-through connection, see “T1/E1 CSU/DSU cable pinouts for straight-through connection” on page 89.
