Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet switch or hub

The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port (see figure 12 on page 31) is designed to connect to an Ethernet switch or hub. Connect a straight-through CAT-5 cable (one wired as shown in figure 13) between the RAS and the hub/switch.

Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet-capable workstation

The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port can connect to a single Ethernet-capable workstation by means of a cross- over cable. Refer to figure 14 to assemble a cross-connect cable that will connect between the NIC Ethernet port in the workstation and the RAS 10/100Base-T Ethernet port.

Connecting the EIA-561 RS-232 configuration port

Install the supplied DB-9-to-RJ-45 cable between the RAS RS-232 port (see figure 12 on page 31) and an open serial port on your computer. If you need to assemble your own cable, refer to the pinout diagram in figure 15.
