To connect 10BaseT Cable to RJ-45 connectors at the LANMaster T8 front:

1.Locate or build 10BaseT cables with the following characteristics:

802.3 compliant (See page 18)

straight through cable configuration (See page 6)

male RJ-45 plug connectors installed at both ends of cable.

2.Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of 10BaseT cable to LANMaster T8 RJ-45 jack connector.

3.Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of 10BaseT cable to DTE terminal RJ-45 jack connectors.

4.IF CONNECTING TWO LANMaster T8s:

Connect LANMaster T8s AT PORT 8, using steps 1-3.

Set the interface switch on one LANMaster T8 to: MDI and

the interface switch on the other LANMaster T8 to: MDI-X.

Installing Slide-In Cards

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing Slide-In Cards. Failure to observe this caution could result in circuit board failure.

NOTE: Slide-in Cards can be hot-swapped.

To install a Slide-In Card:

1.Determine if the Slide-In Cards has an SQE switch and, if so, verify that the SQE switch is in the OFF position:

NOTE: SQE switches must be set to the following OFF positions:

UTP/STP card

TOWARD 20-pin edge connector

Thinnet card

TOWARD 20-pin edge connector

AUI-DCE

AWAY FROM 20-pin edge connector

AUI-DTE card
