METRObility Optical Systems R104-11 manual 4Connect to the Network

4Connect to the Network

To connect the R104 to the network, insert the twisted-pair cables into the appropriate connectors. Be sure the card is secured to the chassis by tightening the thumbscrew before making network connections.

The R104 provides four shielded RJ-45 connectors that support a maximum segment length of 100 meters. Use Category 3, 4 or 5 cables for 10Mbps segments; use only Category 5 or 5E cables for 100Mbps segments.

Insert your connectors as shown below. Once power is applied to the card, correct connectivity can be verified via the link (LK) LED, if an active device is connected to the remote end of the cable.
