Agilent Technologies J3916A manual Connecting the Probe Using RJ-45 Connectors

	Installation
	Connecting the Probe
	Do not attach cables to both the Token-Ring DB-9 and RJ-45 connectors
	simultaneously. This causes the probe to malfunction, and can disrupt your
	network. You must use only one network connector at a time for correct probe
	operation.
CAUTION	The Token-Ring interface is not compatible with Token-Ring expansion modules
	(Local Ringhub from Madge and other vendors, for example) which require
	power from the Token-Ring interface. The Token-Ring interface must be
	connected directly to the MsAU.
	Token-Ring networks typically use Type 3 (Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)) cable
	or Type 1 (Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)) cable. Networks using UTP cable
	typically use the RJ-45 type connectors and networks using STP cable typically
	use Token-Ring Data Connectors or DB-9 type connectors.
	If your network uses RJ-45 connectors, you will need the standard cable with
	RJ-45 connectors on both ends to connect the probe to the ring. Connect one end
	of this cable to any open port of a Media Station Access Unit (MsAU) and connect
	the other end to the RJ-45 connector on the probe. Figure 3-6 shows the Token-
	Ring interface connected to a Type 3 MsAU.
