Chapter 1 Product Overview

Equipment Included in the Package

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.

Network Cable Requirements

The Ethernet connectors are designed for attaching an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable equipped with standard RJ-45 compatible plugs. Press one end of the UTP cable into the Ethernet connector until the plug snaps securely into place. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 jack wall plate or to an RJ-45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub, depending on your network configuration. Observe the following cabling restrictions for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T networks:

For 10BASE-T networks, use Category 3 or greater wiring and connectors.

For 100BASE-TX and 1000 BASE-T networks, use Category 5 or greater wiring and connectors.

The maximum cable run length (from a workstation to a concentrator) is 328 feet (ft) or 100 meters (m).

For 10BASE-T networks, the maximum number of daisy-chained concentrators on one network segment is four.

Note To avoid line interference, put voice and data lines in separate sheaths.
