3.5CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This section provides the procedures for connecting unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments from the network or other devices to the 6H302-48 (Section 3.5.1), or the 6H303-48 (Section 3.5.2). For details on how to get manuals, refer to the “Related Documents” section in About This Guide.

NOTE: If the module is being installed in a network using SmartTrunking, there are rules concerning the network cable and port configurations that must be followed for SmartTrunking to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the appropriate Local Management User’s Guide for the configuration information.

3.5.1Connecting UTP Cables to the 6H302-48

The fixed front panel ports of the 6H302-48 are 10/100 RJ45 ports with internal crossovers. When connecting a workstation to these ports, use a straight-through cable. When connecting networking devices to these ports, such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.

NOTE: All RJ45 front panel ports on the 6H302-48 support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Category 3 cable may be used if the connection is going to be used only for 10 Mbps.

Connect a twisted pair segment to the 6H302-48 as follows:

1.Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.

2.Connect the twisted pair segment to the 6H302-48 by inserting the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port as shown in Figure 3-3.
