3.4CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This section provides the procedures for connecting UTP and ﬁber optic segments from the network or other devices to the 2E4X-27.

NOTE

If the 2E4X-27 is being installed in a network using SmartTrunking, there are rules concerning the network cable and port conﬁgurations that must be followed for SmartTrunking to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the SmartTrunk User’s Guide for the conﬁguration information.

Ports 1 through 24 on the 2E42-27 and 2E42-27R have RJ45 connectors for UTP connections. Ports 1 through 24 on the 2E43-27 and 2E43-27R have two RJ21 connectors for UTP connections. On all of these devices, ports 25 and 26 support FE-100TX, FE-100FX, or FE-100F3 Fast Ethernet Interface Modules.

The FE-100TX has an RJ45 connector for a UTP cable connection. The FE-100FX and FE-100F3 have SC connectors for ﬁber optic cable connections.

Refer to Section 3.4.1 to make UTP connections to ports 1 through 24.

Refer to Section 3.4.2 to make a UTP connection to an FE-100TX in port slot 25 or 26.

Refer to Section 3.4.3 to make a ﬁber optic cable connection to an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 in port slot 25 or 26.

Refer to the associated High Speed Interface Module user’s guide to make connections to an optional High Speed Interface Module installed in the HSIM slot.

3.4.1Connecting UTP Cables to Ports 1 Through 24

The 2E42-27 and 2E42-27R use 24 RJ45 connectors for the port 1 through 24 connections. The 2E43-27 and 2E42-27R use two RJ21 connectors for the port connections. Each of the cables connected to these two ports can have 12 twisted pairs.
