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.
