Appendix B

Cables

This appendix provides cable wiring information for TokenSpeed module port connections. When you connect network devices to the TokenSpeed module, you must specify the port type through SpeedView and use a straight-through cable with an RJ-45 connector for the connection to the module port. The requirements for the far-end connector vary according to the type of device you are connecting.

This appendix includes information about the following topics:

•Port type settings for the token ring ports (see page B-2)

•Cable types for connecting token ring network devices to the TokenSpeed module (see page B-2)

•Pin locations for the RJ-45 connectors on the TokenSpeed module (see page B-3)

•Pin assignments for cables used to connect token ring network devices (see page B-4)

•Connector pin assignments for the male Mini DIN 8 to male DB-25 cable and female DB-25 to female DB-9 adapter for serial MCP connections (see page B-13)
