a.Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. To operate at 1 Gbps, category 5 cabling must be used.
b.Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is on and properly connected to the segment.
c.Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have the proper pinouts (see Appendix A) and check the cable for continuity.
