operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

This I/O controller works only with an NPE-225, board label 72-3453 rev. A0 or higher, or

 

 

 

 

 

faceplate label 800-05418-03 rev. A0 or higher. To check for the correct NPE-225 version in

 

 

 

 

 

software, use the show 7200 command and look under CPU EEPROM, for Hardware Revision

 

 

 

 

 

1.3 or higher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C7200-I/O-FE1

 

1 Fast Ethernet port; equipped with an MII receptacle and an RJ-45 receptacle for use at 100-Mbps

 

 

 

full-duplex or half-duplex operation. Only 1 receptacle can be configured for use at a time.

 

 

 

 

 

C7200-I/O

 

Has no Fast Ethernet port.

 

 

 

 

 

C7200-I/O-FE-MII2

 

1 Fast Ethernet port; equipped with a single MII receptacle.

 

1.The Product Number C7200-I/O-FE does not specify MII because both an MII and an RJ-45 receptacle are included.

2.The I/O controller with the Product Number C7200-I/O-FE-MII has a single MII Fast Ethernet receptacle only.

Ethernet Port Connections

I/O controllers have the possibility of one or two types of Ethernet connections: MII connections and RJ-45 connections for 10/100-Mbps operation. For more information about Ethernet ports, see the online Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide.

MII Connections

Attach the MII cable to the MII port and tighten the knurled thumbscrews on the cable to the jackscrews on the port.

RJ-45 Connections

Warning

To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage

 

(TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports

 

both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

 

 

To identify the RJ-45 cable type, hold the two ends of the cable next to each other so you can see the colored wires inside the ends. The straight-through wire type has colored wires in the same sequence at both ends.

In the crossover wire type, the first colored wire at the far left is the third colored wire at the other end. The second colored wire at the far left is the sixth colored wire at the other end.

Attach any RJ-45 Ethernet cables to the appropriate connector.

Port Adapter Cable Connections

The instructions for connecting the cables for each port adapter installed in the Cisco 7206 router is in the respective online note for each port adapter. The documents are available on the Documentation CD-ROM and on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/7206/port_adp/index.htm.
