10BASE-T Ports

The 10BASE-T port connections are provided for the 10 Mb/s Ethernet segment or nodes to attach to the BayStack 303 and 304 Ethernet Switches. The RJ-45 jacks accept standard Category 3, 4, or 5 copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable connections. Pin assignments for the standard RJ-45 connector are given in Table 1-1. The BayStack switches are shipped with the 10BASE-T connectors configured as MDI-X(media-dependentinterface-crossover). These ports connect over straight cables to the network interface controller (NIC) card in a node or server, similar to a conventional Ethernet repeater hub. If you are connecting to another Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch, you need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection exists on the associated port of the attaching device (see “Connecting 10BASE-T Ports” on page 2-8 for a description of the crossover cable).

The 10 Mb/s ports operate in half-duplex mode only, and each port has an associated LED that indicates link status of the line.
