Connecting to the Network

3.5.1Connecting UTP Cables to Ports 1 Through 14

Before connecting a segment to the 8H02-16, check each end of the segment to verify wire crossover.

To establish a link, you must have an odd number of

!crossovers (preferably one) between 10BASE-T devices of the

CAUTION	same type (i.e., from repeater to repeater or transceiver to
	transceiver).

Connect a twisted pair segment to the 8H02-16 as follows:

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

2.Refer to Figure 3-5. Connect the twisted pair segment to the 8H02-16 by inserting the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port (ports 1 through 14).

3.Verify that a Link exists by checking that the port RX LED is on (flashing green or yellow or on solid green). If the RX LED is off, perform the following steps until it is on:

a.Check that the 10BASE-T device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is ON and connected to the segment.

b.Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have the proper pinouts (Figure 3-6) and check the cable for continuity.
