Connecting to the Network

e.Ensure that the twisted pair connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide. Refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi for information on obtaining this document.

If a link is not established, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page xviii for details.

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 above, until all connections have been made.

Connecting UTP Cables to 4H4283-49 or 4H4203-72

The 4H4283‐49 and 4H4203‐72 have fixed RJ21 connectors. Each RJ21 connector can support up to 12 segments. You can use either straight RJ21 cable connectors or right‐ angle RJ21 connectors with optional RJ21 angle adapters.

To connect a UTP segment to the 4H4283‐49 or 4H4203‐72, proceed as follows:

1.Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON. If using RJ21 straight connectors, proceed to step 2. If using RJ21 connectors with optional RJ21 angle adapters, proceed to step 3.

2.If using an RJ21 straight connector, refer to Figure 3‐9 and proceed as follows. If using RJ21 right‐angle cable connectors, proceed to Step 3 on page 3‐16.

a.Plug the RJ21 straight connector into the appropriate RJ21 port connector.

b.Tighten the two screws to secure the RJ21 straight connector to the RJ21 port connector.

Note: The cable pinouts for a 25-pair cable (RJ21) can be found in the Cabling Guide. Refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi for details on how to obtain this document.

c.Proceed to step 4.
