3.3CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This section provides the procedures for connecting twisted pair segments from the network or other devices to the 6H122-16.

NOTE

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

Ports 1 through 16 of the 6H122-16 are 10/100 ports with internal crossovers. The ports have RJ45 connectors for twisted pair connections. When connecting a workstation, use a straight-through cable. When connecting networking devices, such as another bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable. To ensure proper operation, use Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling that has an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms.

To connect a twisted pair segment to the 6H122-16, proceed as follows:

1.Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.

2.Connect the twisted pair segment to the 6H122-16 by inserting the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port (Ports 1 through 16) shown in Figure 3-2.
