1.To function properly, the two Model 2158Bs must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.

2.The Model 2158B is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack that can be used on the CopperLINK interface. The CopperLINK interface is a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the Model 2158B's CopperLINK interface jack.

The RJ-45 connector on the Model 2158B's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3.

3.2 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for

external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-

tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-

CAUTION perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

The shielded RJ-45 ports labeled Ethernet are the Auto- MDIX10/100Base-T interface. These ports are designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T network. Figure 4 shows the signal/pin rela- tionships on this interface. You may connect this port to a hub or PC using a straight through or crossover cable that is up to 328 ft long.
