Installation

Connecting the Probe

1.Connect the probe’s 10Base-T/100Base-TX (RJ-45) port, located on the rear panel, to the network using a category 5 cable. Figure 3-5 shows how to connect the probe to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network.

2.Select RJ-45as the Physical Connector parameter from the Modify/View Interface Values menu. Refer to Step 1 on page 25 for information on configuring the Physical Connector parameter.

3.If you are connecting to a device that supports the auto-negotiation protocol, select Auto Negotiate for the Link Speed parameter from the Modify/View Interface Values menu. Otherwise, select 10MB/s (for 10MB/s Ethernet) or 100MB/s (for 100MB/s Ethernet). Refer to Step 1 on page 25 for information on configuring the Link Speed parameter.

The probe will automatically negotiate the speed of the interface if the Link Speed parameter is set to Auto Negotiate and if the connected device supports the auto-negotiation protocol.

4.If you selected 10MB/s or 100MB/s for the Link Speed parameter, you must also select Half-Duplexfor the Full/Half Duplex parameter from the Modify/View Interface Values menu. Refer to Step 1 on page 25 for information on configuring the Full/Half Duplex parameter.
