twisted pair connections while ports 3, 4, 5, and 7 are shielded twisted pair connections.

In addition to complying with the 10BASE-T standard, each port provides support for features that are beyond the scope of the 10BASE-T standard:

supports shielded twisted pair cable

allows Low Squelch level (which significantly increases achievable link distances)

allows Link Integrity to be disabled (which allows connection to some equipment which does not conform to the 10BASE-T standard)

Before installing the Ethernet 10BASE-T Module, read the ONline System Concentrator Installation and Operation Guide.

Indicators

The 10BASE-T Module has eight Activity and eight Status LEDs on the front panel that indicate the state of each port on the module. Figure 1-1 shows the locations of these indicators and Table 1-1 describes how to read them.
