Connecting the Unit
For the 10/100 Base-TX port, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the
other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK/ACT LED is ON once the connection has been
completed. Use a standard Category 5E straight through or crossover cable with a minimum length of one
meter and a maximum length of 100
meters.
N-Tron recommends the use of pre-
manufactured Cat5E cables to ensure the
best performance. If this is not an option
and users must terminate their own ends
on the Cat5E cables; one of the two color
coded standards shown to the right should
be utilized. If a user does not follow one
of these two color code standards then the
performance and maximum cable distance
will be reduced significantly, and may
prevent the unit from establishing a link.
