SMC Networks SMC8002CM-US straight through Cat 3, 4, or 5 UTP Cable, Network Adapter Card

Installing the Modem

You can use straight-through

twisted-pair cable to connect the

Ethernet port on the modem to a PC.

1. Make sure you have installed a

10/100Mbps network adapter card in

the PC.

2. Prepare straight-through shielded

or unshielded twisted-pair cables

with RJ-45 plugs at both ends. Use

100-ohm Category 3, 4 or 5 cable

for this 10 Mbps Ethernet

connection.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the

RJ-45 port of the network interface card, and the other end to the Ethernet port

on the modem. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on th e plug clicks

into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair

cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

Notes: 1. When connecting to a hub or switch use crossover cabling. (Refer to “Port

and Cable Assignments” on page 10 for a description of crossover cable.)

2. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
