Information and Materials

1.Obtain the following information:

•IP address of Access Navigator

•Subnet mask

•Gateway address (if used)

2.Obtain the following materials:

•Ethernet 10Base-T cable with RJ45 connector, or

•Materials to make Ethernet cable (if required)

•Continuity tester

NOTE: Ethernet Cable – The Access Navigator provides an Ethernet 10Base-T MDI port for use with Ethernet EIA/TIA-568B RJ45 cables using shielded twisted pair (UTP) wires. Cables should be rated for Category 3 (CAT3) or better. (CAT3 is acceptable for 10Base-T, while CAT5 may be used for either 10Base-T or 100Base-T.

Make Ethernet Cable (Optional)

NOTE: Ethernet Cables come in two types: straight and crossover.

The Access Navigator has an Ethernet MDI port. Data terminal equipment (DTE) such as computers and printers have MDI ports. Ethernet hubs have MDI-X ports, in which the receive and transmit signals are opposite from the MDI port.

•“Straight” cables, by far the most common, have identical pin connections at both ends and are used to connect an MDI port to an MDI-X port. This is the usual way to connect the Access Navigator to an Ethernet hub.

•A “crossover” cable is sometimes used for troubleshooting because it isolates the DTE unit from the local area network. A crossover cable has the transmit (T) and receive (R) pairs swapped at each end and is used to connect two MDI ports or two MDI-X ports. A
