APPENDIX A

The 7H02-06 module uses Fast Ethernet Interface Modules (FEPIMs) to provide front panel cable connections. The FEPIMs are user-installable. See the section ‘Installing an FEPIM’ on page 3-1.

A.1 FE-100TX

The FE-100TX is an RJ45 connector supporting Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling.

The slide switch on the FE-100TX determines the crossover status of the cable pairs. If the switch is on the X side, the pairs are internally crossed over. If the switch is on the = side, the pairs are not internally crossed over. Figure A-1 shows the pinouts for the FEPIM-100TX in both positions.
